Senior Classic Race
Weather is holding and it looks as if we could be in for a cracker of a race.

No Japanese machine has ever won this race in the past, could a Honda do it this year as there are some 20+ out there today ?

Chris Palmer holds the fastest time in practice for this race this year, could he give Fred Walmsely a win on the bike that Glen English is over here to keep his eye on ??

They will start with Alan Oversby on hs own as there is no number 2, then sadly Wattie Brown will aslo go on his own after the loss of John Loder on Friday evening, who was down as number 3.

Roy Richardson is out on a Martin Bullock Honda. Richard Britton, sadly is not out there today.

Steve Linsdell (2nd fastest in practice) goes on a 500 Paton.

Chris McGahan, the Junior Clasic winner last year goes on a 496 G50 Seeley and must be in with a chance.

Pat Sefton is here today and he is out there on his 499 Gilera that should draw a lot of attention.

All in all there are some great racers out there today, and this really should be a great race.
