They did revert back to Thursdays for a couple of seasons (87 & 88?) before going back to Fridays during the Nielsen and beyond eras. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Technik 491 Posted January 14, 2022 It would be nice to get as many former riders to attend over the course of the season. I'm sure everyone would love to see Hans, Dag & Gordon Kennett but I'm sure some of the former lesser known have a story to tell as well. Spencer Timmo & Jon Surman are still living fairly local, I know Marvyn Cox comes back to these shores each year. Armando Castanga is here for the SGP just a few ex Oxford riders to start working on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
