Re: can anyone name the rider ??
Sorry, but the riders listed for 1978 were 25 Roy Hanks & Donny Williams, 26 Tony Wakefield and Eddie Kiff, The year is actually 1977 25 Rodger Dutton & Tony Wright 700 Yamaha, 26 Adrian Rivett & Richard Rawlings 980 BMW.
It was the only year that a 4 lap sidecar race was held with a compulsary pit stop !!
I really should get out more

Re: can anyone name the rider ??
wow, there is a lot of these old bikes still around then, the rivett bike does look a bit out of date compaired to dads yamaha, it must have been one of the last bmw's being raced , but looking at results for the year he did well on it, 15th.
