Isle of Man TT 2014 Sure Sidecar Race "B"

Molyneux Racing took to the track following the disappointment of a breakdown in Race "A" with an Ignition Coil failure, with changes made to the electric system and chasing Kawasaki for a Software upgrade we were using an untried package this week.

With damp conditions we were all apprehensive on the start line and at the drop of the flag Dave & Patrick went out at Number One going relatively steady on the first lap checking the conditions on the 37 3/4 mile mountain circuit and picked up the pace on the second lap whilst lying in second position behind Holden & Winkle.

Lap two took a twist in our favour with Holden and Winkle suffering a similar fault that we had in the first Race and Dave & Patrick took the Race by the horns and pushed hard recording the fastest lap of the Race.

Lap Three and Holden's problems continued with Harrison & Aylott slipping into second position but with Dave & Patrick pushing ever harder they were able to take the Chequered Flag  

SURE Sidecar Race "B" TT 2014

TOP STEP OF THE PODIUM

Following an extremely tough practice week in which we had an oil breather pipe clip break followed in the next session with a puncture we went in to the first race with a week that had also been shortened by weather conditions and a lack of track time meant that our engine set up was a little behind where we would have ideally wanted it to be.

The Race went ok with the first lap completed we were lying in a good second position and were hoping for the second half of the lap to come to us. at Crosby the Birchall Team took the lead on the road and with the bottom half of the course being our fastest sector Dave & Patrick pushed and re took the lead on the road going into Ballacraine. The Birchall's pushed hard to stay with the DMR outfit and came to an end at the Black Dub section in the middle of Glen Helen with an accident that left them in Hospital for observation and Ben needing an operation on his right hand.

Dave & atrick pushed on with a lead of 21.5 seconds at the end of the second lap and a lap that proved to be the fastest of the race at 115.538mph. This was a short lived joy as the engine had developed a misfire crossing the mountain section and would only reach the Hawthorn Restaurant with the misfire making the machine un rideable.

Thanks must go out to all of our sponsors that have helped us so far and congratulations must go out to Conrad Harrison and Mike Aylott who have been trying for many years to get their maiden win on the Mountain Course and also to Karl Bennett/Lee Cain, Darren Hope/Paul Bumphrey & Tim Reeves /Gregory Cluze who took the Manufacturers award for DMR.

For Wednesday we have a New ECU and wiring system that is hopefully going to prove more reliable and bring some success for the hard work that has gone into this years event.

Many thanks must also go out to the Marshalls Medics and Organisers who are there day and night to ensure that the event is run smoothly.

TT fortnight is like doing ten 24 hour race meetings I row and we are putting in the hours to give the DMR the best chance of taking to the podium once again on Saturday.
With the first night practice cancelled due to the  weather conditions our first outing on the Mountain Course moved to Monday evening and we went out with a good set up from the off. The first lap of TT2014 was a blistering 112.5mph followed up by a very impressive 114.35mph average for the 37.75 mile track.
Tuesday evening practice we had all new tyres on to scrub in ready for this Saturdays Race One but the session came to an early finish due to a "fifty pence hose clip" which broke on an oil on an oil breather hose and allowed the hose to come and with oil vapour being released Patrick noticed it and allerted Dale to the problem approaching the "Molyneux's Corner"

With Practice Cancelled on Saturday night this evenings planned practice starts with the Newcomers laps when they are guided around the circuit by experienced riders for their first time on the Mountain Circuit.

At around 8.00pm the Sidecars will get away and fingers crossed the weather will hold for us to get a couple of laps in so that we can retrieve some good Data to extract the best performance from our new engine configuration.

I will be posting how the session has gone but if you would like to get online with www.manxradiott.com you can listen in live to this evenings latest direct from the TT Grandstand.

We just like to send our wishes to Paul Hunt (Big"H") he was involved in an accident on Saturday evening when he fell from his Travelling Marshall machine on the mountain section of the course and is currently receiving treatment in Liverpools Walton Hospital.
