jc2 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hi Guys, Can anyone tell me what year it was in the late 60s that Martin Lampkin finished in the top 10 at the Scottish on the little Suzuki? And what was his actual placing? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparks2 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) Hi From memory:- 1969 on the Gaunt Suzuki 1970 on the Alta Suzuki (finished with a broken frame). Have not got the actual results to hand Addition:- a bit more information from 1970:- MHL retired on day 6 with a locked gearbox, whilst still struggling with the broken frame. Still looking for information 1969. Edited October 30, 2013 by sparks2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big john Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 1970 SSDT - 120cc Suzuki mounted Alan Lampkin finished in 14th position on 94 marks, Martin failed to finish! Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc2 Posted October 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) Thanks Guys. I understood he finished in 69 on the Gaunt-Suz & placed well - something like 5th. Can anyone confirm his '69 result? Big John, I saw somewhere on the forum that you have some info/pics on the Alta-Suzukis. Any chance you could PM it to me please? Thanks Edited October 26, 2013 by jc2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparks2 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Can now confirm:- 1969 SSDT HM Lampkin on the Gaunt Suzuki finished 5th overall with a total of 44 marks lost. Winning a Special First Class Award and best 150cc Edited November 8, 2013 by sparks2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc2 Posted November 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Many thanks Sparks. Fantastic result for him & the little Suzuki. Am I right in thinking it was his 1st Scottish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparks2 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) No, he first rode in 1967 on the BSA (NWW 8E). Can't quite remember what (or if) he rode in 1968 (will research). So it was probably his third Scottish. Update on 1968:- HML finished 5th overall again on the BSA (NWW 8E) With a total of 60 marks lost and a special first. So 1969 confirmed as his third Scottish.
