By There’s something unique about Sidecar racing at Scarborough. Whether how close the racing is, how spectacular the outfit’s look going through Jefferies Jumps.
Viewing close up the driver, passenger’s talents, it’s a must for roads fans to witness three-wheeling competition at England’s only real roads course.
Ten crews are set to take in next week’s BDS Motorcycles F2 Sidecar encounters.
Present three wheeling Oliver’s Mount ‘King Pin’ Lee Crawford, is due to be joined in the Team A.R.C outfit next week by long time team-mate, Scotsman Scott Hardie.
Between them to date, Crawford and Hardie have combined clinched 36 race wins at Scarborough.
Anticipated top pursuers to Crawford/Hardie include the in-form Ramsdens, Steve & Matty.
Chalking up fourth, fifth place finishes at TT 2023, they also topped for the first time, the 114-mph lap mark on the fabled, mythical Mountain Course.
Former TT Champion Conrad Harrison/Rhys Gibbons (Town Garage) can’t be discounted as well from front running challenges.
Added ones to watch include Carl Fenwick/Phil Knapton (CR Fenwick Commercials Ltd), Greg Lambert/Andrew Haynes and Bruce Moore/Mark Gash (MDK Office Services).
Finalising the entry list are Paul Riley/Jody James, David Marshal/Tony Pitt, Chris Schofield/Tom Dawkins and White Rose Racing’s Shaun Chandler/Ben Chandler.
