The very first race Tshirt I bought at the track was a Transatlantic trophy one

Oulton Park 1973

I remember the year cos it was plastered all over the back of it.

I'm only jealous missed all the 70's racing. Ron Haslam is really the first nutter I remember seeing.

What was great about it was the variety of machinery...........

First race I ever saw the line up included......BMW, Triumph, BSA, Norton, Suzuki, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Koeneg!.......

Percy Tait was riding Slippery Sam at Silverstone on my first ever visit.

Peter Williams and Dave Croxford on the JPS Monocoque Nortons

Mich Grant and Barry Ditchburn on Kawasaki's as was Yvon Du Hamel.

Sheene on his Suzuki and I think Steve Baker was on a Yamaha.
