totally agree with you buz, leave the damned place as it is. have some great memories of this lovely fast flowing circuit. i won't bore the pants off you with all of them, a few will suffice. watching steve bonhomme's get off after exiting gerards, fred merkels wasn't bad, but bonhommes was better. watching dave hill on the bmw flying brick exiting the hairpin, up onto the back wheel for 50 yards and then steaming down the devils elbow [no chicane then]. watching the loony lc brigade go round gerards in the wet as though they couldn't see water, andy muggleton, dave ball, bozzy, ray stringer and all the rest, superstars [in my eyes] like stu mellon . watching colin breeze thrash the pants off alcomers on the mighty atom. watching schwantz, hairnet, marshall and all the rest on 500 two strokes flying up to the hairpin. wonderful place. i'm going for a lie down now, i've come over all nostalgic!!!
ade!
p.s. and can't forget steve bevington, untouchable on a 350 in his day
