Sidecar Race A
The weather here is fabulous this afternoon with the sun cracking the flagstones. So soo different to this morning.

Kinners is out and about having a chat with the boys on the grid.

This oculd be a cracker of a race this year, with Nick and Dan on song and Moly suffering severe engine problems this week.

15:45 on the button and they are away with Moly leading off.

Next is Nick and Dan

At the rate he is pulling back the time, Moly is in the lead on the road and must surely be in the lead on corrected time.


Moly comes through looking very good and has the bit between his teeth now.

A long gap now back to Norbury, and then another gap to Holden.

A really long gap now as we wait for Schoffield and then Laidlow together, now comes Roy Hanks close behind them.

Next is Bryan and Dongworth close together.

Molyneux +3.2
Holden +18
