Here are some pictures I took in 1979 (approx) a few pictures of the sadly missed Phoenix Park races, Red Island GP in Skerries and the finish of the first All Ireland Road Race Championships in Navan.

My apologies as these pictures are a bit mixed, please don't contact me looking for pictures, I will post more pictures here when I get some spare time. Even converting the pictures on this page took a fair amount of time.

Please enjoy the pictures that are already posted on the site.
