One for the bike boys,
I think its a Vincent with a Shorrock blower and a Wal Philips injector but other than that not a clue.
Pod pits 1969 or 70.

Thanks,
Not holding out much hope of an I.D for these two from the same meeting(1969ish) especially with the advertising board in the way!

I'd say Pegasus for the 1st photo, 2nd photo John Hobbs far lane going by the riding style and maybe Tom Quinn near lane

I've been involved with (classic/vintage) Sprinting for around 20 years. Its a place where some of yesteryear's drag bikes and sprint bikes still get exercised, and, being grass-roots, it has that friendliness characteristic too.
I've dug out some photos to give an idea of some of the machinery that's still out there, and being given the beans!!

Methamom, blown Vincent, at VMCC Sprint at RAF Wroughton in August 2011.

Alongside is the Booth Matchless 500 outfit.
As well as being ridden at the Wroughton 1/4 mile sprint, Chris Illman also rode it (the Booth Matchless) at the Pendine Landspeed Racing Club event at Pendine Sands in June of 2013.
