Hi Snett, yep i remember the name and i raced with all those clubs, i was runner up to Mike James in the 79 Newmarket championship. Trouble is with the differant classes, the 250's were so well subscribed back then that we usually had our own races and rarely mixed it with the bigger bikes. That's why my story was so crazy, an X7 lapping an RD400 at a national!!! the mind boggles.

Yes Mick James was a local rider to Snetterton...Raced the X7 & GS1000 Suzuki's....Then bought the Works 1000cc Suzuki F1 bike that finished in two peices at the bottom of the mountain at Cadwell...

That's him, i remember he was sponsored by HandS, i did alot of Snett meetings to keep costs down as i lived on the Essex/Cambs border so it was an easy drive.

Mick came from Downham Market.....And yes Hands were his sponsor's....His son Carl raced for a while....Did the orignal Superteen series....Then went to supermono's.....Don't think he is racing anymore though ?
