Here's my vintage Rule that I think would be cool and fun!!! 80's style clothes for all Vintage Racers. So dig out your shell suits.

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.
