Mark Heckles, whose most famous result is probably that 6th in race 1 of the rain drenched 2002 Silverstone WSB round, is making good progress recovering from serious injuries sustained in that pile-up at the 2004 Brands BSB round. Last Saturday, at Aintree, Mark finished third, on the Riverside R1, in the strongly contested 1300cc open four-stroke class. Good luck to him. Also of note (to me at least) was a jewel of a TZ750, resplendent in Yamaha America Colours, crushing the oppostion in the "Forgotten Era" class. How small it looked against the modern oppostion - R1s, GSX-Rs and the like. The next Aintree club round, is on June 11th. Dn.
