Derek Minter started his racing career in 1953 on a BSA Gold Star. His early promise as an inexperienced youngster was very quickly fulfilled. By 1965 he held the lap record for virtually every British short circuit.
Ya got to love books like this that tell ya of a racer from the 50’s 60’s when the bikes they raced where so closely matched & the racing was hard to and some lost more than a race .... a good read
