TonyMac 720 Posted February 26, 2005 (edited) King's Lynn legends Terry Betts, Mike Lee and Malcolm Simmons were reunited last night, when the town hall hosted a special 40th anniversary civic reception. Other former 'Stars' riders who joined current promoters Buster and Jonathan Chapman and the Mayor of King's Lynn were: Ian Turner, Richard Knight, Trevor Hedge, Mel Taylor, Ray Bales, David Gagen, Barry Crowson, Troy Pratt and Graham Edmunds. Troy Batchelor, Adam Allott and James Brundle kept the flag flying for the modern-day 'Knights' - sorry, but I just can't get used to them being nicknamed anything but Stars with the gold & green racejacket and five stars emblem! Bettsy was on great form, recounting tales of winning the first-ever meeting at Saddlebow Road (nah, can't have the Norfolk Arena either!), while gracious Simmo paid tribute to his former team-mate by referring to him as 'Mister King's Lynn'. Mike Lee also looked in very good nick and is busy preparing engines for eight young English riders this season, including Lynn's Brundle. Exclusive full report and pictures from this nostalgic occasion will appear in the next issue of Backtrack... Edited March 1, 2005 by tmc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
