I know it’s a long shot with only 6 weeks to go, but I’m looking for TT ride if possible. Also available for the rest of the season, southern 100 and Scarborough as well as any British meetings.

(email steve@steveenglish.com for contact details unless of course you have Jake’s already 😊)

Evening all. Just want to let anyone that knew him know that Tony Rozier passed away March 7th after a long battle with Lewis Dementia and Parkinson’s.

His Cremation is on Monday 7th April at 3pm. St Richard’s Chapel. Surrey and Sussex Crematorium RH10 3NQ afterwards at Heathy Farm Pub which is opposite the Crematorium.

Anyone that knew or competed with or against Tony back in the 80s is welcome to join us at the Crem and after for the wake at Heathy Farm Pub.

I’ll post time and post codes here over the weekend.

Picture is dropping into bottom bend at Brands in the mid 80s with Tony driving and the me keeping the chair down.

RIP Tony, my driver and Father-in-law.

A change of plans means that #walthamservices will now be able to attend the next Bemsee round at Oulton Park to service the sidecars with Hoosier Racing Tire

We will have the van there for the Thursday afternoon test and for Friday morning only.

Please get in touch if you need tyres for this event so we can make sure they are on the van for you.

Darley Moor Sports Centre & Darley Moor Motor Cycle Road Racing Club regret to announce that following the software company responsible for our Spectator e-ticketing system ceasing trading we have had to suspend the sale of ALL Advance Ticket Sales. We hope to get a new system in place as soon as possible. Our IT team are currently working to test a new system to get it in place as soon as possible. We are really sorry for this problem that is completely out of our hands. We will keep you informed of our progress.
Thank you fot your understanding.

Sadly, despite the widespread encouragement the Club received after it reversed its earlier decision to suspend racing activities for 2025 and to go ahead with the above exploratory race weekend, there are insufficient entries to enable this test day and race meeting to go ahead.

Despite the huge amount of administrative work carried out by Club officials and our friends at NG Racing over recent weeks, supported by the Anglesey Circuit, the marshals, and the medics, it is apparent that there are nowhere near enough riders able or willing to help us make the meeting a viable proposition.

With a little more than two weeks to go, only 24 riders have paid their entry fees, and whilst another 40 or so have indicated they wish to compete, the total number of likely entries will still be totally inadequate to avoid the Club incurring another substantial financial deficit, similar to those that were suffered in 2024.

Hence, this decision to cancel the meeting.

ENTRY FEE REFUNDS – the Club will now promptly reimburse all entry fees (including garage & transponder fees) received for this meeting. Riders should therefore email the Club treasurer davidfrancis_is@yahoo.co.uk with the relevant bank details – account name, sort code & account number.

The Club’s committee will now spend time reconsidering its plans, membership fees, etc and advise its members in due course.

So as the 2025 Sidecar Seasons is just around the corner and what a great season it’s looking for my Chassis in Bemsee, British & world Championship races. 💪🏁

Over the next 2 months I’ll be looking at making my F2 chassis a full spec TT bike with some new ideas I’ve been thinking about. The new TT bike will also have a bag fuel cell like we use on our F1 chassis. (I have 1 order coming so if you want to join this order please get in touch.)

Also over 2025 I’ll be machining/fabricating a lot more F1 parts for stock to speed up delivery times.

Now the reason for this post is….. I’m probably going to be closed all Dec & the first week of Jan 2026. So this means if you’re thinking of a new Chassis for 2026 you need to order in time so it’s finished in Nov 2025.

Have a great 2025 and see you all soon. 💪🏁
