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!
Contact Natalie
Or EMRA on 01455360260
By public demand……

From TT Press office (edited from their original which had John Holden on the KTM)
The top 10 drivers and passengers for the two 3wheeling.media Sidecar Races at the 2024 Isle of Man TT Races have been announced.
There’s a familiar look to proceedings at number 1, with 14-time winner Ben Birchall leading the field away once again on his Wyckham Blackwell/Hager LCR Honda. But there’s a new man to his left-hand side as Kevin Rousseau replaces Tom Birchall following his shock retirement at the end of the 2023.
The closest challengers to the Birchall’s dominance in recent years has been the FHO Racing pairing of Peter Founds and Jevan Walmsley, who follow at number 2 once again in 2024 on their DDM Honda.
Third away is the talented Manx pairing of Ryan and Callum Crowe their Kelproperties-backed outfit, who are followed by multiple World Champion Tim Reeves, on board his Bonovo Action Racing/Carl Cox Motorsport Team machine with Mark Wilkes.
There’s plenty of change at number 5 with record 17-time winner Dave Molyneux reverting to a 600cc DMR Kawasaki after running the 890cc KTM for the last two years. He also has a new passenger in the shape of Ramsey youngster Jake Roberts who, at 20 years of age, will be the youngest on the grid.
John Holden and Frank Claeys go off at number 6, with their Marin Motorsport CES Suzuki
At number 7 is the father and son duo of Steve and Matthew Ramsden; the Yorkshire pairing having broken the 114mph barrier last year for the first time. Ten seconds later is former British Champion Lee Crawford who returns to the entry having missed the event last year. He’s reunited with Scott Hardie on the ARC Newton Aycliffe/SJH Bodyworks, LCR Kawasaki.
Number 9 sees Lewis Blackstock and Patrick Rosney (Dave Holden Racing, LCR Yamaha) return for the first time since 2022, with Alan Founds and Rhys Gibbons (Team Founds Racing, LCR Yamaha) completing the top 10 seeded pairings.
The complete top 10 for the two 3-lap 3wheeling.media Sidecar Races at the 2024 Isle of Man TT Races is:
1 Ben Birchall/Kevin Rousseau Wyckham Blackwell/Hager, LCR Honda
2Peter Founds/Jevan Walmsley FHO Racing, DDM Honda
3 Ryan Crowe/Callum Crowe Kelproperties, Ryde Honda
4 Tim Reeves/Mark Wilkes Bonovo Action Racing/Carl Cox Motorsport, LCR Honda
5 Dave Molyneux/Jake Roberts Kelproperties, DMR Kawasaki
6 John Holden/Frank Claeys Marin Motorsport CES
7 Steve Ramsden/Matthew Ramsden Ramsden Racing/RS Motorcycles, LCR Honda
8 Lee Crawford/Scott Hardie ARC Newton Aycliffe/SJH Bodyworks, LCR Kawasaki
9 Lewis Blackstock/Patrick Rosney Dave Holden Racing, LCR Yamaha
10 Alan Founds/Rhys Gibbons Team Founds Racing, LCR Yamaha

As I am sure many teams are busy with prep for the TT, and pushing with tight time constraints: we are all under the same pressure. Originally, John had intended to enter the Ryde KTM loaned by Kenny Howells and have it ready and set for the TT.
A former TT rider has raised £12,200 for The Walton Centre to thank them for her treatment following a racing crash.
Fiona Baker-Holden was involved in a 130mph crash with her father during the Isle of Man TT in 2018.

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.
