Not so much a race pic (although there's loads more that are) but this is one I recently ratched out of my (recently deceased) mothers attic.

The girl on the left recieving a birthday kiss is one of my sisters, it was taken at Donnington around about 1980 or so?
Amongst the photos are Lawson, Haslam and Sheene and this guy, who I personally has been more influential than any other.
I'll ratch out some proper race pics later.

This came up on Faceberk, apparently it's 1981, somewhere n Belgium, an F1 race, on the front row of the grid are two works Hondas and what looks like a modified GSX1100.

Ron Haslam on his Pharaoh TZ750 at Cadwell back 1977.
The story is apparently that Ron fell off on the way to the grid, and the fairing was ripped off so he raced as it was 8-) 8-)
