I was at the Milton Keynes bike show today and a guy walks up to me wearing a Norton F1 Sport T-shirt. He was there with his wife and was 'showing' a Hesketh (the Norton only has one seat). He said that he purchased a red Norton F1 sport from Norton Motors and had raced it recently at Brands Hatch! Fairly sure he said it was a classic race (1992 eligible?) and that he took the win... hmm, i wonder, anyone know of this bloke & his bike?He backed off when i mentioned the ROC (we must be infamous), seems hes a member of the Hesketh club (do you know him Geoff?) and isnt really interested in joining any other clubs.

CRMC - Brands Hatch - Sunday 9th July 2006http://www.sport-pics.co.uk/2006_Season/crmc/b ... 0.htmEdit- found another picture...http://www.sport-pics.co.uk/2006_Season ... 69.htmEdit 2- The rider is Mr J. Davidson (number 12) who is the CRMC Race Entry Secretary (do you know him Malcolm?)...http://www.sport-pics.co.uk/2006_Season ... u5304.htmI cant work out which race he won on the F1 though, maybe it wasnt really eligible and was excluded from the results (just a wild guess :? )EDIT 3 - Oh dear! i emailed Mr Davidson to point out this forum thread and it seems ive got it all completely wrong. Mr Davidson is not the F1 owner, he rode the bike in a parade but it was not entered in any race. The owner, who i met, neither raced the F1 or won a race on it... I really must get a new hearing aid. :?
