Thanks for posting. Any chance you could look at the 1962 and before progs for my dad Harry Scholes on sidecar? This would help me identify all his races. I have pic from Silverstone I think but need to check, Many thanks againHi all. My good friend Keith Howard has lent me some old racing programmes that I hope you will like to see. These are the outer covers but if there is any content you would like to see I will try to put it here but these mean a lot to Keith so I may not be able to scan some parts without the chance of damage so these may not be possible as they are quite delicate. I hope you enjoy them.

I have had a good look through the programmes I have but the name Harry Scholes does not appear in any sidecar event listed. Sorry about that.

We got onto the banking outside of the Devils Elbow whilst it was still misty. When the sun broke through I saw Mallory Park and racing in full colour with all its' glory. After that a year later I was the other side of the fence all be it not on a Honda six but a race tuned Ariel Arrow.
I still have that program as well as others from that era and all my race programs.

Just testing.
Just have to find my first Mallory Programme from the ever first road race meeting held there, I have most up to 1989 when I gave up Marshalling.

Great stuff. Keep it coming.A couple of interesting names in the 56 programme, entrant Don Henstock (underlined) i'm guessing is the same person who entered Neil Tuxworth in his early seasons, and P D Chatterton is possibly Derek's brother Peter? I think he died in a freak road bike accident at very low speed close to the family business near Boston, he was tipped by many as a future star.

Henstocks had a shop in Sutton-in-Ashfield about 100 yards from my house, cica 1950's. The building is still there, now a furniture shop. Later a larger shop in Mansfield which was sold about 10 years ago. Don had died his son Jimmy ran the business for a while. Local to me we had few M/C shops Walter Wragg, Taggs, Charlie Freeman, Frank Cope, Frank Inger, David Tye, Bill Lomas and a few others (who I can't remember even though I bought bikes from them, how sad,) all supportied riders.A couple of interesting names in the 56 programme, entrant Don Henstock (underlined) i'm guessing is the same person who entered Neil Tuxworth in his early seasons, and P D Chatterton is possibly Derek's brother Peter?

Neil Tuxworth's entrants Henstocks of Mansfield. They were entrants for many local lads over the years.
In the 50's many riders had entrants, even at clubmans meetings, in the 60's it appeared that only the top riders had entrants.

Any idea why Ago is shown as 20th in the 500 race after winning the 350, must have been more than just a bad day at the office, did he push in?
Clutch failed off the grid, Paul.
No panic - they fitted a new clutch complete at his pit, and off he went - he only dropped one lap.
I was in the Grandstand that day - when he eventually pushed off, the cheer nearly took the roof off.
Can you imagine a superstar, not necessarily today but even then, going through all that and then riding his b****s off for 14 laps of Dundrod with no chance of a point?
The man was/is a star.

Dont fancy my chances with that guard rail to the outside of Ivy and Cooper, was that on the outside of Devils Elbow? I think i've seen it on old photo's before, in my day it was bale lined armco down there and that was pretty scary, but the thought of an arm or leg getting the wrong side of that rail in a crash doesnt bear thinking about!!
I was never a big Mallory fan as it always looked like there was plenty of stuff around to hit if you fell off there.

It was scaffold pole and wooded boards, I remember an early notts sports car club meeting when a car crashed at devils and one of the poles whet in one side of the car and out of the other under the drivers legs. A sidecar did launch over the top at one meeting and into the rubbish tip below, "luckly" it was not such a drop as in later years, after they cleared it out! Sometime later we got some pit conveyor belt and fastened that to the poles and stuffed it with straw!

If you think Mallory was bad, and it was, watch this.
