I think i raced there in the late 80s, on my Haro sport with a gyro and a front brake.
I crashed trying to jump the tripples at the end of the last straight.

Jon,i got this news from Daniel Sturgeon,remember him?

Jon The Bassist · « **Reply #4 on:** February 08, 2011, 10:50 PM »

Yes but never knew him personally, never raced him so must have been a different age.

I think a lot of us crashed at that spot trying the same thing

thanks a lot mate but all good - just need to clean them up a bit first

( I originally used the ones you gave me, although they cleaned up a treat I think they're a little bit twisted )

I rode there in the early nineties it was pretty derelict back then hadnt seen a race in a long time i guess, good to hear its fixed up i might have to go and take a look!!

the runnymede track is very nicely done indeed, lucky to only live a few miles away,

they have recently resurfaced track and spent a lot of time and money by the looks of it,

well worth a look i would say, bit tricky to find, so what i do is park out the front of phillip south coat school KT15 2QH

then you go in side a park and thier it is,
