Maybe its time to open up the dates a little and allow thought on the '90s british Supercup particularly for the 125/250s and if that doesn't do it ,reluctantly allow diesel topics in as long as the Ducati brigade don't try to tell us all how wonderful their devices were(despite tho 20% capacity advantages ).

Why not call it Racing in the 90's.


Sounds a good idea , maybe even British Championship Racing in the '90s ?
The reason I put this forward was that "my" involvemant in British Supercup started in 1994 but I remember seeing plenty on TV when "Young" Whitham, the Vincent brothers and many other were doing "superteens"(here come those awful super prefixes !
I remember then that 250gp was particularly frantic and this until the sad demise of one of the most exciting events at British (probably alongside 125gp)
I know there are a number of lurkers and also active members on TNF plus a host on Facebook who I might manage to educate to come over to the dark side .
It would interest me a lot if accounts of particularly those earlier years of Supercup could be enjoyed on TNF.
