by Sam Matthewman. Oliver’s Mount at just 35 miles away is my local and favourite track. Run by the northern club the Auto66. I’ve been racing there since 2000 picking up a fair few wins and occasionally holding the outright Course Record. Last year I took the record back from good friend and local man […]
If you need a pair of left hand gloves head to the BMF this weekend… see ya there!
The BMF Show is once again upon us, all roads lead to Junction 17 on the A1M. Peterborough. The event continues to draw me there, even though most visits result in me saying “Won’t bother with that next year” and it must be worse if you’ve actually paid to get in? Years ago it was […]
