True connoisseurs of yesteryear three wheeling machinery, there stars shone brightly and some during the returning Pre-TT Classic Road Races.
1272 Bellas Vincent mounted; Halifax’s Quirk was making his driving debut around the illustrious Billown course.
Despite this factor, it didn’t take long for Quirk/passenger Weston to be right at the sharp end, mixing it with established, proven event exponents.
Runners-up within the opening Sidecars encounter, the second three wheeling race stint saw them embroiled in a gripping, compelling battle for honours alongside Tony Thirkell/Trevor Johnson and David Lissaman/Rob Child.

Additionally ultra-competitive across the CRMC Cadwell Park meeting, Quirk/Weston epitomise the distinct spirit that makes Sidecars competition so unique.
