Awesome Steve! :)

[Dyna]

Nice retro shots Steve !

Where was Caldicots outdoor track in that picture then ?

[axeman]

the club took over a dis-used bmx track in portskwett.
I was a full multi surface track.
Clay doubles, brick dog pit. grass and tarmac.

I wish I could find some better pics. I will talk to glyn jessop I'm sure he have some lying around.

[axeman]

2000ec arrived today and the 98 is ready for friday night.

What a productive day I have had.

PS the old style shocks are a pain in the ass

Havent you been at work then ??

I reckon you'll be suprised how well the old CAT 2000's go :)

What are you running in it - all the gear from your Mid44 ?

[axeman]

Yes Mid44 needs full service so gave me an excuse to play with these for a few months.
