Encouraging Number of Entries Received!

Entries received for the Radcliffe’s Butchers Post-TT Road Races are well up on last year as entries draw to a close for this year’s event that will take place on Saturday Afternoon and Evening 10th June, 2017.

Heading the list is last year’s double winner, William Dunlop who will be out to repeat his successes on his 600 IC/Caffrey Yamaha and the 1000cc Temple Golf Club Yamaha machines.

However, the popular Ballymoney rider will not have it all his own way with Yorkshire rivals Jamie Coward and James Cowton out to steel the limelight.

Jamie Coward will be wanting to make it a home victory for his Castletown based team Radcliffe Racing, whilst James Cowton would like to return his McAdoo Kawasaki Team to winning ways on the Billown Course, where they have achieved many race wins in the hands of Bob Jackson and more latterly Ryan Farquhar in the saddle.


Add to the mix, the likes of Robert Wilson, third last year; David Lumsden Glen Harrison, Mark Parrett, Davy Morgan, Jamie Williams and Mark Goodings and the pressure will be on to take the first win of the day.

James Cowton was the winner in the Supertwins race in 2016 ahead of his near neighbour Jamie Coward, and whilst the latter is not entered in this class this year, the Droffield rider will have Michael Russell, David Lumsden and Anthony Redmond to contend with during the six lap race.

The feature, Manx Independent Carriers 1100cc Race over eight laps of the 4.25-mile Billown Course will see all the main suspects line up on the grid with Dunlop, Coward, Cowton, Russell, Goodings, Morgan, Redmomd and Parrett all favouring the 1000cc four-cylinder machines, as does previous winner Ryan Kneen.

The only certain outcome, is that no quarter will be given or taken and it will be a tense and exciting race with the winner being decided at the chequered flag!

Dry with the hill fog slowly lifting this afternoon as sunny spells develop. Temperatures up to 19 Celsius in places sheltered from the strong southwest wind.

 Roads close at 1pm to 4pm then 5pm to no later than 8:30pm

Three is the magic number for Cowton

James Cowton has won the 250cc/600cc race at the Radcliffe Butchers Post-TT for the third year in a row.

He blitzed the field from start to finish, completing the six laps (25.5 miles) in a time of 15 minutes 34.536 seconds.

Dave Moffitt pounced late on to claim second spot from Jonathan Perry with Anthony Redmond in fourth.

But it was pre-race favourite Cowton who dominated – Tim Glover saw him cross the finish line.

James Cowton edged a thrilling Cu Plas Callow 600cc race at Billown – the opening event of the Radcliffe Butchers Post-TT.

He finished 0.7 seconds ahead of Jamie Coward in an exciting opener, recording an average lap record time in the race of 108.684mph.

Indeed, the lap record changed hands three times between Cowton and Coward, who got stuck behind some backmarkers later on.

Robert Wilson completed the podium by sealing third spot.

After his triumph, Cowton was delighted.
