It was indeed the Ronaldsway Shoe Company. The money was handed out on the grid before the start of the Solo and Sidecar Championship races.

I remember the first time I raced there. There I was on the grid, all keyed up and someone hands me a fiver. Where the hell do you put it? I stuffed it down my leathers and away to go. I rediscovered it when I put my leathers on at my next meeting. Still, a nice thought.
