He was definitely involved or owned some bike teams in and around the BSB paddock. Wouldn't be surprised if he raced at some point.Apparently he also club raced along with Lee Thompson of Madness

A few celebrities did some one off races in the HRDC A35s at Silverstone Classic a few years back, someone rolled one at Maggots IIRC. God knows who though it was a good idea but the race hasnt appeared since....

Gene Hackman competed in Formula Ford in USA in the 70's with Paul Newman and later drove a Toyota for Dan Gurney's team, and raced in the 1983 Daytona 24hrs.
Didn't Tom Cruise dabble in some SCCA racing in the USA after he finished Days of Thunder?
From Wiki "In the late 1970s, Hackman competed in Sports Car Club of America races, driving an open-wheeled Formula Ford.[45][46] In 1983, he drove a Dan Gurney Team Toyota in the 24 Hours of Daytona Endurance Race.[47] He also won the Long Beach Grand Prix Celebrity Race."Didn't Tom Cruise dabble in some SCCA racing in the USA after he finished Days of Thunder?
I believe it could have been his son raced over here way back. I remember seeing him watching from the old Grandsatnd above the toilets at the hairpin at Mallory (who remembers them)
