Mallory Park
May 6th & October 17th

Posted on by


Get your teeth into this one! It’s back!!!! The much loved Dongo trophy returns to Mallory Park this year.

Jonny Leubke of Dirty Weekender Campervans has been in talks with Natalie at Mallory and EMRA, with a view to holding a meeting at the beginning of May. It would be an excellent opportunity to gain TT signatures, although it will be open to everyone  and will be an absolute winner to have sidecars back on this prestigious circuit!


The entry fee will be £200 with a £10 day membership for EMRA, with practice, qualifying and the race/races….. yet to be finalised.

Obviously numbers count, there must be a minimum of 16 outfits but a full grid of 24 with the possibility of reserves is what we’re aiming for! It’ll be worth it…… a prize fund is up for grabs……

Johnny has just messaged to update the prize fund currently is at £8k split between the two meetings! The only stipulation is that you must enter and complete the May and October round to qualify for a chance of the winnings!


So what you waiting for?!!! Get the dates in your diary and get sidecars back to Mallory!

**EASTER MEETING UPDATE**
After a thorough site inspection today, 17th March, it is with regret that we must announce the cancellation of our Easter Meeting due to be held on Sunday 31st March 2024.

Due to the prolonged wet weather in the area, the paddock and spectator areas are not in a condition that would make it possible to use them over the bank holiday weekend.

Oliver’s mount speed controlled trial laps.

From Dan Clark via 243 Racing

Oliver’s Mount speed-controlled sidecar trial laps for those wanting to try out this fabulous real road circuit before entering for a full weekend of racing there.

Expressions of interest are being invited from ACU Clubman/National sidecar licence holders to take part on Saturday 13th April in 4 laps at controlled speed behind regular Oliver’s Mount sidecar teams.

The track is 2.43 miles in length and the controlled laps will only be two short of a full race distance. Speed controlled doesn’t mean a dawdle but will be at a safe speed to let wannabe Oliver’s Mount competitors get a taste of what a great circuit this is at a very reasonable cost.

The cost will be £50 per team (that is 4 adults, with any under 16s having free entry) and includes free entry to Oliver’s Mount for the full weekend and free camping/motorhome/caravan passes.
It also includes free pedestrian entry to the sidecar paddock so you can talk to all the sidecar race competitors if you want to.

Entrants will be parked in the top field of the circuit where there are all the usual facilities, trade/food stands and a large marquee with a bar and entertainment on Friday and Saturday evenings.
Note: Because of circumstances beyond the organiser’s control your transporter must be under 3.5 metres high to get in if arriving on Friday, or weigh no more than 3.5 ton if arriving on Saturday.

It is hoped that teams will all be gathered in the same area and, if you wish, you can put your outfits on show for the spectators to have a look and ask questions about your machines and sidecar racing in general, you never know where your next sponsor may come from.

If you want to enter and have a great weekend at Oliver’s Mount please email the organisers at 243rra@gmail.com
