Race 7 - British Open & Youth Champs 11-12 October 1975
This was a long course. Check these times out. Only 19 of the top K1M managed to get down the course in less than 5 minutes! And i'm pleased to say that I was one of them. And with only a couple of touches it gave me my best result of 1975 in the process - 5th youth and 12th overall :-) This meant that only a very small number of seniors beat me which was great news! I managed to beat Chris for once, my team member with Rob who finished 6th and 14th overall. Richard fox was moving closer with 13th youth and 29th overall. The team event was not quite as good previous races this season as we could only manage 5th. But VKC were definately very visible on the radar! I note Mr Setchell in there as well....still going strong too! :-)
I should point out Roger Mainwaring here, 22nd overall. Roger is one of the guys I came up through the divisions with and there was very little between us in many races. Paul McConkey was another arch rival and I am rather surprised that he does not feature in this seasons races. He must have appeared later on...I will find out when I dig deeper in my box of memorabilia!
All things considered, a great result to end the season with :-)
