Reon Murtha was a gifted driver too. Had all the tactics known from watching the greats in action. That is him 2nd From the left, looking the most professional amongst this group waiting for their drives. Could be the BOAY Cup ? with the original BOAY contributors ! Reon, of course Won the Race these guys are waiting for easily !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can remember his " You can run to the tote " Nice guy met him once at Radio Pacific function, would have been mid 1980's. Calls Cambridge workouts, don't think always but regular enough. Isn't there a workout caller on here or was? I think I read about it a lil while back and didn't he give a cash donation prize for a fun selections game? Couch something or Pouch or something, have included him in the game but I can't remember the full user name. Hello Couch something if you are reading this. Iv tried to include you 😁 Edited April 21, 2021 by Karrots 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
