That is a fantastic collection of race pics. Well done for sharing with us..thanks. I think that explains why a lot of the current racers don't like 3 sisters.

i guess the pics are 83-86ish, the problem with 3 sisters is that the surface has been tarmacked in half a dozen chunks, if it is damp some of it dries out and some of it don`t thats why they come acropper especialy the newbies.
three sisters has very poor maintenance around the circuit a lot of the view for spectators is now blocked by trees, but its still a cheap track to visit and the cafe is a lot better than the buttie van of the 80`s
ive lost most of the pics i thought i had but i do have the negatives from a few more meetings but reprints cost a bloody fortune.
i dont post on any other forum cos i don`t need any mates

i guess the pics are 83-86ish, Some of the car registrations in the pics are "C" reg which puts those photos at at least August 1985 onwards, hence my comment.. although 2 different group 6 Lammies with the race "number 5" means its possibly different race seasons in your snaps aswell... To be fair the biggest damage to the track nowadays is the pounding it takes from the Supermoto events it hosts, aswell as the lack of a large enough run off area for the ever quickening scooters as each season goes by... The Trees have sprouted up over the years, but they don't block ANY of the view inside the circuit, they just block people trying to view from outside the circuit... i dont post on any other forum cos i don`t need any mates That's a fair enough point mate, its just some of the scooters photo`d were owened by lads that still race today, I will do the decent thing and tell them to look in on this forum
