This is my contribution to Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Sense of Smelling.
I was stuck for an idea for the prompt until remembering a comment someone made on Facebook after I had posted a photo of a moto cross bike from the 1970s. The comment was about the distinctive smell from a lot of racing engine’s in those days.
It was the smell of Castrol R, an oil that contained a percentage of Castor seed oil giving a very distinctive smell to the exhaust fumes.
A couple of photos from my local moto cross circuit in the late 1970s, Hatherton near Nantwich in southern Cheshire.

Extreme sports are addictive isn’t it?
It is until you get older and everything hurts. 😀

Oh what a wonderful response for this week’s challenge 😀
Thanks Cee. In Europe some farm machinery is running on bio-diesel made from recycled cooking oil. Those machines smell like a fish and chip restaurant.
