TOM JONES 0 Posted February 19, 2013 ROB TATUM Gresham started it,'Flash'finished it at Oxford a few weeks later.Gresham in tears,new bike,2nd corner,2nd lap,new bike bent almost double, AND he finished up being excluded (possibly because he had tried it on Gordon on the first lap) i know Gordon certainly "RAMMED" his point home that night. Are you sure it was at Oxford? They wre 2nd division then & Kennett was at White City.I may be wrong,sure someone will tell me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westlakejawa 23 Posted February 19, 2013 ROB TATUM. Definitely Oxford.It took 4 track racker's to get Gresham's bike back to the pits.Let's hope March11 goes well.It may well be that a lot people do not realize the amount of time/money involved to even get something to the pre-planning stage.Good luck.
