(First published 10th September 2019)

Q1: First memory of Oliver’s Mount?

“My first prominent memory would be name dropping, Barry Sheene used to come and ask me what the track was like around the back because I rode in more classes than he did, we were out first thing in the morning, so that’s my most prominent memory.”

Q2: Favourite part about racing at the mount?

“Coming down all the Jumps, obviously there’s a chicane at the bottom now but you used to come down all the Jumps and then through the start-finish, particularly on the RG500 (Suzuki) it was a right squeeze to get it through the bottom and stop it for the hairpin, really exciting.”

Q3: Favourite section of Scarborough course?

“The Jumps”

Q4: Best moment thus far at Scarborough?

“Best moment was again probably name dropping but Barry Sheene comes into this again because he had the lap record there and I saw my Mrs jumping up and down and I knew I broke it.”

Q5: All time Scarborough racing hero?

“I can’t pick anybody out, there’s been some fabulous racers.”

Q6: Is there one machine in particular that you would like to race at Scarborough?

“I’m sure the rotary Norton would be good, I never raced it around there and I’m sure that it would be lovely to parade that round and I’m sure the public would love that.

I was fortunate enough to go there a couple of years ago and I’ve got my old Superstock bike and did a few burnouts and stuff there, so we had a bit of fun then but we’ve got to take the Norton there one day.”

Q7: One word to describe Oliver’s Mount?

“Awesome”

Q8: Most respected racing rival at Scarborough?

“It’s gotta be Barry Sheene.”
