Hi Paul, I'm from Weymouth, so my 1st ever meeting was in 1974 at the Wessex Stadium. Loved going to see the Pirates too, Simmo being my all time hero. I was also Clerk of the Course at Weymouth on it's return in 2003 till 2010.

Wow!! I remember watching these as a kid. I used to think all the guys that would end up on the phones begging the refs to see things their way where all crybabies. Of course, I really didn't understand the rules and didn't understand how great this event really was especially when you think about the global community today and how it seems so dysfunctional. Could you imagine a world where motorcycle racing (Short track Dirt racing at that) was an answer to war? I couldn't think of a better response.
