You should have taken part in the old MCC meetings there, they held one bike race meeting a year, always at Silverstone and always at this time of year.
As such the conditions were often wet
I remember a lad called Mark Bishop always going well in the wet on his YZF750, think that had something to do with his 18 stone or more adding some extra grip.
I also recall watching a great race for about 6th in the 600 class with Simon Knowlson on wets and Adrian Crosson using Pirelli Dragons that he had used at the Manx GP a couple of months earlier, its amazing how quickly a really smooth rider can go in the wet even on road based tyres.
