27 Weeks to the Friendly Races
Unbelievably, the 2023 Southern 100 Road Races are just twenty-seven weeks away, with action getting under way at 18.05 hrs (6.05pm) on Monday 10th July.
Racing returned to the Colas Billown Course in 2022 after a two-year enforced sabbatical and the road race competitors provided the enthusiastic fans with fourteen exciting races, culminating in the prestigious Solo & Sidecar Championships.
On the solos it was the Yorkshireman Davey Todd who dominated taking five closely fought wins out of nine on the Milenco by Padgetts Honda machines with Harrison, Dunlop, Coward and Hodson each taking a win a piece. On three wheels however, it was a brace of victories from current champions FHO Racing’s Peter Founds and Jevan Walmsley.
If you were present, relive the experience, with the recently released DVD, 111-minutes ‘edge of the seat’ highlights to realise why the Southern 100 has been called ‘the friendly races’ for so long and if you weren’t see what you have been missing, the DVD, produced by Duke, will encourage you to make the trip in 2023.
The DVD is now available from club online shop. The link is https://southern100.com/shopping/
The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company have been the title sponsors since 1999 and like the promoters, Southern 100 Racing look forward to welcoming many thousands of motorcycle fans and their families to the Colas Billown Course for the 2023 races which will be held on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Championship Day Thursday, 10th, 11th, 12th & 13th July.
