The Place

With the help of the SACU I am now only short of 3 passenger names to complete my list of Scottish Sidecar Champions from 1960 to date...the missing names are for the year 1960 driver Edgar Peacock...1964 driver Brian McAnelly....1970 driver Alistair Lewis...can anybody please help...??

Bill,Ill speak to Richard,Edgars brother at the weekend and see if I can get you his passengers name,if he doesnt know Ill ask his widdow.

Hi Bill I may be wrong but I think Brian McAnallys passenger would be his brother Kevin and was Allys passenger not the lad jimmy who sadly died last year. moes will know.

Dave, thanks very much for the info...by the way your spelling of Brian's name makes more sense than that on the trophy...which is McAnelly...I wonder how he felt about that..?? just for the record it was Jimmy Law who unfortunately died a year or so ago...an incredible guy and life and sole of any collection of people that included him...also ace passenger...RIP Jimmy..

Will you be posting the list at anytime?

Tony, missed your post, thanks for that, look forward to receiving it...

Bill, it is McAnelly NOT McAnally. He was killed at a Scottish meeting. At Beverage Park in 1966.

Thanks Geoff...most unusual name but that is what it says on the cup...I was too easily swayed as it sounded wrong.....

Funny you should say that Bill but it does sound better as "McAnally" and that is how my old man used to say it. However people who knew him well, Geoff Atkinson / Sonny Sarginson ,who raced with them in their grass track days always said McAnelly. Geoff also passengered Brian before he started with Malcolm Hobson.

Hi Bill
According to a Snetterton programme from 4th September 1960 Edgar Peacock's passenger was a G Layfield. Hope it helps.

Bill
Brian McAnelly's passenger at the TT in 1964 was P Horsfield if its of any use. Sorry I can't help with Alistair. No sign of him in any of my 1970 programmes so must have stayed north of the border. Wasn't even in the TT programme.

Hi Bill,spoke to Edgars widdow,and brother today.His passenger was Graham Layfield,whos knickname was "Kipper",he was riding an ex Cyril Smith Manx Norton.
Apparently in 1960 at Olivers Mount he had quite a battle with Helmut Fath.
Hope the info helps Bill,if you ever get your list published please let me know,as his widdow would like a copy.

Hi Again Bill,If I was wrong about Jimmy Law Ally himself will put you right. His telephone number is 01224 733065.

I'd like to say a big thankyou to Dave Mallon, Tony Wheatley, Geoff Bell and Gary James for your help above. I will publish the list here on this thread once it's completed....
