How about some Hocking?

Dear CR Thank you for an excellent magazine, my only gripe is that it should be a monthly publication instead of every two months.

I have recently enjoyed reading about Jon Ekerold in the magazine and having done so it reminded me of another favourite racer I used to watch, Gary Hocking.

My father and I were at the 1959 Ulster GP where, if memory serves me correctly, Hocking was easily the best rider in the 250cc class that day and showed his skill in what could be described as a tricky surface upon which to ride.

I think that Hocking is amongst the most overlooked of riders from that era and I would therefore like to suggest that Classic Racer features the Rhodesian in the future.

I believe that Gary would serve a very popular read for those who and I look forward to seeing such an article in print one day.
