Idle chat in a group for the old Croft Racing Circuit on Facebook led to me putting wheels on the revamped circuit tarmac for the first time in 39 years, 11 months, 2 weeks !!!! I stopped racing at the end of 1984
Grinning like a Cheshire Cat going down the straight and listening to the motor sing and listening to to zing of the quick down changes brought it all back
The SD fcuked up when saving the rear footage so didn't get it all although I did manage to recover some of the footage
Some footage here

"Grinning like a Cheshire cat"
Must have had fun - my last was mid 1983.
Sometimes that's forever ago. Sometimes it's like yesterday.

Yup, a lot of changes in bikes and racing enthusiasm then, although my tracks were canada and u.s.
