Hub centre steering

[petercaughlin]

Went to the Bristol Show at Shepton on Saturday amongst exhibits was a Difazio Hub Centre outfit owned by arch sprinter Henry Body for many years, according to the history on the bike Difazio road raced it from 1959 and Henry bought it and then grass tracked it in the 60`s ,I bet that's another one that blows a hole in the eligibility rules

Think of them more as 'guidelines'

Steve,
I thought guidelines were something you used to evade Income Tax

I remember seeing a couple of outfits in the late 60s / early 70s with a Reliant front swinging arm and hub centre steering.
I can't remember who they were ( I've got trouble remembering my own name these days).

I remember racing against a Renwick with a 1000 Vincent in at Snetterton, that was 1972 if memory serves me correctly.

John, that Renwick Vincent used to compete at Croft in the early 1970s, I think the driver was from Grimsby, which is about midway between Snetterton and Croft.
