Throwback Thursdays

Spectators at motorsport events are not high maintenance. Any spot will do, as long as they can see the action. The top picture is from the Galway International Rally in 2015 and the bottom picture is from Skerries Road Races in  2013. Photo's Barry Cregg.

John Burrows on his Suzuki GSXR1000, getting some air during the Superbike race at the Tandragee 100 Road Races in 2011. John was a great rider and always had his bikes turned out immaculately. Since this photo was taken John has hung up his leathers but now runs his own team to great success with Derek Sheils taking the championship on his bikes this year. Photo: Barry Cregg.

Davy Morgan on his 250 Honda, in action over Gillies Leap at the Skerries 100 Road races in 2011. A stalwart of pure road racing for years, Davy always makes it easy for photographers to get a nice shot at this spot on the course. Photo: Barry Cregg.
