I could do an even better one on Brummie/Black Country and Midlands road racers, because I am a Brummie.

Albert Moule, Tony Rutter, sponsor Gerald Brown and many more plus Bob Heath, now he's worth a write up on his own, his antics in his teens and early twenties defy belief.

What a great pity a lot more old racers, winners,stars and the not so famous don't visit these boards to tell us their tales instead of just a few of us.
