Happy memories

by


Dear CR

Thank you for publishing the photo of Bryan Rust and I on the KGB Imp, in issue 201, it brought back many happy memories of Snetterton’s Race of Aces in 1973.

This was our first year racing with the Imp, which replaced the BSA that had a terminal engine failure at Estoril, Portugal in 1972.

Here’s another picture of Alan partnering Bryan Rust on the Imp-powered machine, this time at Silverstone in 1974.

The outfits in hot pursuit were number two George O’Dell and Bill Boblison on a 750cc BSA, number three a 750cc Trident crewed by R Dutton and T Wright, 15 a 998cc Rhombus Imp ridden by L Langridge and L Evans and, finally, 11 Chris Nickells (who, like me, still competes in Belgium with the Belgium Classic Club) and his passenger Jim Widdas, on a 970cc Komnick.

Alan Bedford, Sutton Bridge.
