ROAD RACING

A promising Ulster road racer Andrew Neill was fatally injured on Sunday during practice for the annual Walderstown meeting near Athlone in the south of Ireland.

Neill, a 27-year-old motor mechanic from Newmills in Co Tyrone crashed during the 125 practice session.

The meeting which was running late due to bad weather was abandoned as a mark of respect for the Neill family.

Just last month Neill had the satisfaction of beating Michael Dunlop in the 250 race over his home course at Bush near Dungannon.

AINTREE, MERSEYSIDE, SATURDAY

After a cracking seven lap duel between James Shipley, Sam Walker and Lance Cronshaw in the F600 points race at the third Aintree meeting of the season on Saturday it all came to grief on the last corner of the last lap.

Cronshaw was first past the start/finish at the end of lap one but Walker put in two fastest laps and took a small lead. At the end of the third lap all three crossed the line together. Shipley was ahead on the next lap with Walker less than a fifth of a second behind. Shipley still had the lead at the end of the next lap but Walker went under him on the only left-hand corner of the circuit.

On the last lap they were all side by side going into the final corner at Club, but Walker fell on the exit leaving Shipley to cross the finish line ahead of Cronshaw.

The final race of the day was also full of drama. In the 500 and single cylinder championship race it was again a three way race this time between Tim Kermode, Christian Peck and Steve Porter. Kermode kept his nose ahead for the first three laps but Peck was close behind with Porter putting in ever faster laps to close down the gap.

Peck was first out of the final corner but only by 0.007 seconds. Kermode and Porter nearly touched but Kermode was back ahead as they started the penultimate lap. Porter tried to go inside Peck at the left-hander but Peck closed the door. Porter did take Peck and nearly caught Kermode as they crossed the finish line with 0.098 seconds separating the first two.

The 350 classic race was another close dice this time between Mark Sharrock and Steve Ferguson. After leading for the first two laps Ferguson lost out to Sharrock. They were together as they started their third lap and almost came together as they went into the first bend. Sharrock led the way to the last lap when Ferguson went outside of Sharrock on the last bend to take the chequered flag by 0.044 seconds.

BRANDS HATCH, KENT, SATURDAY-SUNDAY

Lea Gourlay confirmed his place as the country’s leading classic racer with a dominant display at the Classic Racing Motorcycle Club weekend at Brands Hatch.

Riding Rob Lidgate’s Triumph triple, a pair of Summerfield Manx’s as well as his own TZ350 Yamaha 38 year-old Gourlay was simply in a class of his own, winning 14 races from 15 starts. Commentator Graham Lawlor described him as the guv’nor, a label he had no problem living up to.

Gourlay’s only defeat of the weekend was arguably his best performance too. Engulfed in petrol when the 930 Triumph’s fuel cap sprung open on the opening lap of the second 1300 race, Gourlay dropped as low as 18th before securing it and beginning the fight back of his life, passing everyone but race leader Gary Thwaites before the chequered flag dropped on the 7 lap sprint.

Richard Parker came closest to inflicting defeat on Gourlay, pushing him all the way through the 8 lap 350 National, narrowly leading as the pair started the final lap before spectacularly crashing out at Druids.

Gourlay’s mammoth haul included the weekend’s feature race, the King of Brands National which he led from start to finish. Michael Cooper tried courageously to hang on but after 5 laps Gourlay had gone. In a nice touch, Gourlay collected the trophy from Bill Ivy’s sister Marie on the 40th anniversary of the great man’s death.

The weekend’s sidecar action began with a red-flagged 7 outfit incident on the opening lap on Saturday and finished with a superb hat-trick by the Honda powered pair of Brian Gray and Alex Bedford. Eddy Wright and Vicky Cooke took a consolation win in the final event of the weekend with another red-flagged race.

SCARBOROUGH, YORKSHIRE, SATURDAY-SUNDAY

County Down Yamaha racer Ian Lougher returned to Oliver’s Mount for the Auto 66 Cock 0’The North two road race meeting and immediately settled into his usual mode by winning three races and recording the fastest lap during Saturday’s nine race programme.

Lougher took the 125, 250 and F 600 races typical Lougher style.
Unfortunately his hopes of a Superbike double expired when he retired the Black Horse Motorcycle Finance sponsored Yamaha R1 at the end of the second lap.

Keith Pringle bolted towards the Mere Hairpin in the eight lap race towing Ulsterman Michael Pearson and his Yamaha R1 along with former trials rider Kieran Hankin latched on.

Pearson got by Pringle and pulled away leaving the latter to hold of Leyland’s Hankin and the Quill Performance Exhausts Honda to the FL:ag. Pringle gapped Hankin who was in latter race conFL:ict with F400 winner Daniel Frear.

Tony Elmer and Darren Marshall won both F2 sidecar races with Bradford postie Conrad Harrison and Lee Patterson on the Printing Roller Services Honda Shellbourne in pursuit.

Double winner at the last ‘Mount meeting, Harrison banged in a brace of fastest laps which could have been a foretaste of what was on the cards for Sunday.

Weather at Scarborough was actually summer style with blue clear skies, and for once, a totally dry track.

Ulster racer Michael Pearson lifted the Cock o’ The North  title on Sunday by winning the shortened eight lap final from Keith Pringle and Kieran Hankin. Auto 66 rescheduled the ten lap race from the penultimate event on the Oliver’s Mount programme after adverse weather reports were broadcast for the East Yorkshire regions.

Lougher though had three race wins on Sunday before his early ‘bath.’  Leeds vehicle engineer Tony Elmer and Conrad Harrison topped the two F2 Sidecar races. Elmer did the winning and Harrison set the fastest laps, but did not win ! Kawasaki Newcastle rider David Bell was on top of the MiniTwins on both days posting a new class record lap on Sunday.
