Unfortunately another good man has been taken from us too early. Graham died suddenly of a heart attack last week. He had several good finishes at the TT including 4th in 1978 and 6th in 1979. He had stopped racing but had been sprinting his weslake engined lynx outfit at Hoghton tower, Thundersprint ,Cholmondeley Pagaent of Power. He will be really missed.

So sad, I've known Graham for longer than I can remember. Lovely guy & always smiling.
Saw Graham & Tony Dalton at the past Thundersprints, Tony jumped on with me when my passenger failed to arrive one year. RIP mate.
Condolences to the family & Tony.
