Racing is set to return to the Colas Billown Course this Saturday 30th May with a special three-Race programme, two unique solo races and an even more unique sidecar race slotted in between the two-wheelers!

The re-formulated Pre-TT Classic Races were the brainchild of long-serving Cross-Four-Ways Manx Radio Ace Commentator, Roy Moore, who with his knowledge and expertise has brought back some road racing stars from the past, with a number making their Billown debuts!

Keeping to the ‘social distancing’ guidelines, the Southern 100 club has restricted the numbers of riders to six per race with a 2 – 1 – 2 – 1 grid pattern for all three races.

Clerk of the Course for the event will be Peter Oates, with former C of C and Club President Phil Taubman MBE acting as Starter. Chief Marshal, Peter Chadwick and Press Officer Phil Edge will ensure fair play, whilst Roy Moore will broadcast from the Race Control and with the assistance of son Kevin, he will have a view of the full 4.25-mile Colas Billown Course, and provide a full lap coverage as the riders pass each of the main vantage points. Due to the time restriction on the road closing order each race will be over one lap.

Manx Radio’s Anchor Man at the Start – Finish, Tim Glover expressed his delight in having a break from his usual duties at the Colas Billown Races handing the ‘mic’ over to his colleague Roy Moore and being able to watch this very special event saying: ‘

Racing gets underway at 8.00pm on Saturday 30th May and can be viewed on the Facebook page of Roy Moore & Barry Woods Mountain Memories.
