Steve Webster and Tony Hewitt Ride Again!! :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
Mallory Park 27.03.2015.

Over the last six months or so I have spent quite a lot of time with two of the greatest and most popular world champions that Great Britain has ever produced, Tony Hewitt and Steve Webster. In the time they were together they took themselves from ordinary, through extraordinary all the way to that accolade ‘Legendary’!

I’ve enjoyed interviewing these guys, all the time amazed at the humbleness of these down to earth, kind gentlemen.

They last raced together in 1989 when they won their third and final world championship and later they were awarded MBE’s by the Queen for services to motor sport.

Many of you who follow SideCar Radio will know that The British Historic Racing club is holding a test day for its members, on that day members of the public who have an interest in competing in the BEARs Sidecar championship are invited to come and try a modern big wheel sidecar. This is FREE of charge but there is an insurance premium of £13 per person.

Steve and Tony have generously agreed to come and ride my BEARs sidecar. This will be the first time that they have been on an outfit together for twenty-six years. Today on the telephone Steve Webster said ‘Tony and I are greatly looking forward to getting that bike into sixth round Gerard’s!’ I didn’t like to tell him that it only has five!

If your interested in sidecars, if your interested in motor sport, if your interested in watching history being made or if you just want a great day out, come with us to see these legends back on track at one of Britain’s best loved venues ‘the friendly circuit’ Mallory Park.

If you would like to take part in the BEARs big wheel sidecar experience call David Sykes on 0116 2876119.

I am booked in! Remember to bring your ACU or driving licence (both parts) if you want to drive. Claire - will you have your camper van? I am coming on a road bike, so will need access to your kettle and stove - will bring my own tea bags!

Really looking forward to it. I hope the weather is kind!

Yes Marianne, I'm in the VW and Phil will have his big truck so there will be hot water for drinks. I'm getting there on Thursday to do battle with the awning so that everyone has some shelter and I'm hoping to get another go with John Potts (IOM practice) on the Friday. See you there.

I would like to say a sincere thank you to world champions Stan Dibben :notworthy: , Tony Hewitt :notworthy: and Steve Webster :notworthy: for attending and making a huge difference for all the folk that attended.

We had 31 people take part and firm commitments from three crews to come and race in the BEARs Sidecar class this year!
