Great stuff Alberto. Thanks mate. What happened to Graham McGregor right at the end there? Looked like he got past Joey and then no show. Can you remember the results?

Yes, he finish in second, and very close. The film, at the end , is not clear, lack of batterie. I was alone and no spare batterie or charger. Mike Grant in 3th, Gary Padgett in 4th and Rutter in 5th. Soon I post de '86 edition and my last movie about Vila Real, the '90 edition, with bether quality. '85 and '86 was recorded with a VHS system.

Regards
Alberto

Yes, superb shots.
I remember seeing a photo of Joey at Villa Real once, going past the corner of a house that was off the track by seemingly the width of a pavement, and there being spectators stood on the pavement.

Is Villa Real still in use today?
