During the meeting I moved towards the pits

to see if I could get a picture of Ivan When the bike with the name ‘Ivan Mauger’ clearly

visible on the rear mudguard was pushed on to

the track I knew that I would only have a moment

to get the picture composed and in focus I pressed the trigger and hoped for the best I was delighted when I finally got to see the result
