Hi i'm new to this site and live on the Isle of Man ( T.T. motorcycle races ),i have been trying to find out any results especially regarding my friend John Renwick who was running a turbo'ed vincent streamliner sidecar #202 this last week in the B.U.B. trials.I haven't been able to contact him regarding whats going on over there so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Unfortunately due to work commitments i was unable to get out there this year but hopefully next year!!

Cliff,

From what I recall at the awards banquet John Renwick was the winner for the cash (sponsored by Bob Bakker :cheers:) for the fastest sidecar streamliner with a measured mile top speed of 156+..

He did very well with his new rig. :cheers:

FYI, it was not running with a turbo, it was normally aspirated running on fuel (methanol?).

Hey John,

I think there must have been a bit of a paperwork mess up.  Don Angel, riding my side car streamliner, has a timing slip of 166+.

Max,

Sorry for the confusion, I was certain that John won the money however or at least he was awarded it..?

Pull some gear out of your mean machine and get those monsters roaring to life.. :cheers:
