Seen so many people racing stock cars over the years, Cannon and Ball, Loads of people from soaps, at one time promoters used to get someone form a soap at a meeting on bank holidays, sadly it meant huge crowds, even then people were that sad. But it worked, and fair play they were game and often had a go in stuff they were no way insured to go anywhere near really!!

Or Famous faces presenting the trophies for the big events.
Used to get them at Speedway too.... The page 3 / models were always a hit.
‘Diddy’ David Hamilton presiding. His RR had wooden blocks on the pedals

A certain P. Escobar of Medillin, Columbia was known to partake in local events in his 935.

And no doubt... always won.
He was a keen biker too.
