By Mark, Mitch Kay’s Black Eagle Racing team are making a welcome return to racing paddocks, having struck a deal with TT 2023 participant Andy Hornby.
Hornby due to sample June’s Carole Nash Super Twins TT encounters, piloting a Legacy Moto backed S1-R Paton, finished top Mountain Course debutant in last year’s Senior Classic Manx Grand Prix, placing a very creditable 14th, lapping close to the 100 mph lap mark.
His new yesteryear racing deal, will see him race at selected events, courtesy of aforementioned machine suppliers, fabulous sounding, top class 350, 500 MV Agusta’s.
One of the most successful squads during the Classic TT’s duration, the hard-working, respected Black Eagle outfit event record includes three victories.
Those three triumphs were taken with international road racing royalty, Lee Johnston (2014 Junior 350 race), Dean Harrison (2015 Senior 500 race) and 21 times TT winner Michael Dunlop (2016 Junior 350 race).
