I am hoping to do Pembrey so will see you there but , those Welsh politicians are a bit unpredictable.
How do you get to race at Goodwood?
You get invited! Which may be more about who you know than what you know. I would loved to have seen Lloyd and Cormac there. I actually figured what was wanted was a few 750cc bikes that weren't triples, 2 stroke or 4 stroke, and I am just glad there aren't (as far as I know) TZ750s.
Back in the '70s I rode many races that Lloyd was in at Cadwell, I think his exhausts made my ears bleed once! The only time I remember beating him with my 850 was when he was riding a GS1000 he was developing! Not a very successful venture! Mostly I never saw where he and Bob Smith went.
(For those who don't know the name Lloyd Dickinson you will see the profile of the cam he designed and made around somewhere, it made power, and noise!)
You need a 750 motor, or a 350 TZ.....It was supposed to be F750 one year, TZs the next. This would be a TZ year but, on the original Goodwood date the TZ had a clash with GP Originals at Donington, so they decided to invite F750s as well. Then they changed the date! Covid eh!
I only want to do it because I lived 20 miles away from Goodwood for 35 years and have driven car track days and rallied around it, but I never rode a motorcycle there. And I am thinking of hanging up my leathers before there will be another opportunity.
Neither F750 nor TZs are really a good fit for Goodwood since racing stopped in 1966, but, they already run two periods of Manx Nortons and such at the Revival and wanted something different, so here we are.
Watching the live timing from Mallory I will have to ask what happened on the start line that added 45 seconds to your first lap?
