Clubnight Talk by Rodney Gooch: A director at Castle Coombe Circuit. Rodney's Motorcycling began visiting Brands Hatch 45 years ago - which then launched him into racing on 2 wheels, including competing at the TT. He originated and ran the Castle Coombe Superbike Grand National in 2004. His talk covers a wealth of information as Rider and his professional career at Brands Hatch, Castle Coombe. "Undertaking" this talk will give a great "outside take" thus "Overlapping" our knowledge of what actually goes on organizing and running a Race/track based safety day on track. Those who have ever wondered if they would like to have ago can be assured all questions will be answered. | ||
