The great Fritz Scheidegger lost his life around that time ? @olley

Just googled it, and it probably was him.

Scheidegger was killed while leading a race at Mallory Park hairpin in 1967. John Robinson suffered a broken leg and retired from the sport.

My Norton threw a conrod on the way home, came out the side of the crankcase.:(

I was at the hairpin and saw it happen. It appeared that his brakes failed, he ran straight on into the banking at the back of the bend. John Robinson went straight up in the air and landed on the track, Fritz was thrown over the bank and landed on the walkway at the back. I believe he died from internal bleeding. The outfit continued running and was doing slow circles. As you can tell, it left a strong image in my mind. It was also around this time that Florian Camathias was fatally injured at Brands Hatch. I have a newspaper cutting somewhere, I'll see if I can dig it out.

Florian Camathias once borrowed my mallet when we were camping in the paddock at Snett, those were the days, Chris Vincent, Pat Millard Colin Seeley etc......
The smell of Castrol R and frying bacon is still a magical smell for me.

Oops. Can't find anything :(
Chris "Stalker" Walker
What a weekend!!! Fantastic start to our three wheeled campaign with a 6th place first time out in the awesome looking Santander Salt ZX10 engined LCR1000...!! A true Team effort and huge thanks to all the Team and especially our spanner man John Cable, the bike never missed a beat all weekendAlthough I'm under no illusion just how hard this result will be to repeat and even more so how hard it will be to find the remaining seconds missing to really challenge but that said it genuinely was one of the best feelings ever crossing that finish line with partner in crime Ashley Hawes in the Sidecar for the very first time... Ash and I only met each other on the Saturday but gelled instantly and started that bonding process only sidecar crews can share... For Ash to put his faith in me from the very 1st lap like he did is something hard to comprehend, especially knowing his pedigree (2012 World Champion) and my lack of it!!! His only complaint all weekend was the arm ache from all the waving!!The support we experienced was unbelievable and truly humbling, we had the lead crews from our team Peachy and Gary talking us through it, the Birchall Brothers working on the steering till 10 at night, tips from World Chamionship leader Tim Reeves, Shakey, Cooper, Hickman and the Boys all cheering us on from the Pit Wall, more marshals cheering every lap than in 2000 when Hodgson fell off!!! Not to mention the crowd who braved the elements each day to wave and urge us on... Absolutely amazing and Thank You‪#‎oldbutgold‬ #9
Can't wait for Brands!!!
