2015 Wessex Plant Hire British Sidecar Championship, Round 9 Yeadon-Guiseley
Motor Club. Cockhill Mines. Sunday 27-09-15.

 

The Mel Harrison sidecar trial will take place at Greenhow, three miles west of Pateley Bridge in North
Yorkshire on Sunday but with a depleted field of just fourteen entries. A leg injury has sidelined Rupert Kimber. Nigel Crellin and passenger Chris
Molyneaux require a finish to take the title from Jon Tuck and Matt Sparkes.
 

Tuck and Sparks did not score Peveril last February so their drop score is done.  Chris and Robert Pickard ride against the eighteen sections and two
laps as they are more or less home and dry in Class B. That also applies to Simon Evans and Nick Harding, pictured in last year's event, who are fifty eight points in the lead in the clubman category.

 

The Newcomers is a different kettle of fish completely. Just one championship point separate leaders Luke Etheridge and Dave Denyer
from Graham and Hazel Thomas who have Miles Pope and passenger Chris Skidmore lurking two championship behind them. The Newcomer title will be a
battle right down to Normanby in November.

 

Clerk of Course, Mel Harrison has sorted a two lap course in the disused lead mines with two groups of
sections. That will probably be the east ravine and that long winding stream while the west end will be climbs and rocks in heather covered gradients.
 

The Club also invite solo riders to enter in the event. Solos will start at 10.00 am with the sidecars following at 10.30 am. For any early arrivals or
overnight campers there will be catering at the venue.

 

Photo and review from Barry Robinson - a Photoreport of the event will be in our digital magazine, ORRe.

Mega trial yesterday. Really enjoyed it, thanks to everyone who organised it and to the observers. Couldnt have asked for better weather, sections were spot on.

For a full photoreport of the trial, complete with multiple photographs of most of the competitors, read ORRe-30.

 

In the meantime enjoy this photograph by JACK KNOOPS of Nigel Crellin and Chris Molyneux at the start of the day - about to drop just 4 marks all day to take the 2015 Championship.
