NBMXA National Nottingham 1984

Pictured, 1984 NBMXA National, Nottingham. No. 15 Aaron Valente (National 2 for the year), No. 4 Matt James, who went on to win the British Championships that year at Derby Greyhound Stadium, and No. 154, new kid on the block Paul Ray from Cornwall. By the looks of this shot, Paul had just been picked up by Redline and went on to win the NBMXA National Series that year, along with a late run in UKBMX, securing a handful of National wins, but not enough to steal the number 1 plate from Hutch’s Danny Stabielli, who took the title for the second year running.
