cast iron Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 The reason it was dropped from he calendar was nothing to do with entries, it was the noise. Rally cross nicked all the noisy days. for 2014 The circuit has had extra noisy days allowed during the week, hence its on a bank holiday Monday Unfortunately for me it looks like the NSSCC are away to Oulton again that weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 great noise on the Laverda Jota I had at the time . 'kin 'ell. Could you reach the ground? Mind you, Pete Davies and Roger Winterburn weren't exactly long in the leg and they did alright... Seriously, I'm looking at you with a new respect. I worked on and rode a few Jotas in my early days, though never owned one. Did have a Montjuic though. The sound of a Jota coming on song is unforgettable - something to savour Matched only by a 900ss on Contis. Happy days, sadly missed. Sorry for the thread drift!
