Show60: Greg Lambert, Lady SideCar and Gary Bloke .

Gary bloke takes the microphone to Greg and talks in depth about a full and colourful racing life that so far spans more than twenty years. We all talk about highs and lows and Greg has had more than his fair share, sixty-four wins in one season!!
All this and a great idea for the Manx GP, these boys know their stuff and it is a gripping listen.
I talk to Lady SideCar about our first season together and her exciting plans for 2015! :beer

Show61 Steve Webster MBE Part2, All the way to number One!

Steve takes up this amazing tale all the way from British championship to his first world title! I'm stunned by this humble and in some ways quiet man as he tells me face to face about how he and his team pulled off this truly great and remarkable piece of Great British motor racing history.

The latest coup for SideCar Radio is that another all time great has agreed to come on the show, the one and only Tony Hewitt , I can't wait!!

Thanks to everyone for the kind words on face book, come on the show people!!

Show62/21 Tony Banister, Greg Lambert, Happy Dog and Gary Bloke .

Bit of an odd show this week but to be honest I think it turned out pretty well. Show 21 back in the bad old days finds me with big wheel champion Tony banister. Now this show is over a year old and should have been in our archive, I’ve saved it till now, the message is still the same. Tony’s life in and around big wheel racing is a rare chance to see through the eyes of a man who whilst dedicated to a vintage class, addresses the fact that if things are to change in a good way then we all have to work together to get a change that is acceptable to us all. We enter into the 2015 season just as we did last year with a BEARs experience day at Mallory Park on the 27.03.2015 where if you fancy a go on this modern big wheel class, it’s yours for the taking.

In the second part of the show we return to Gary Bloke’s ranch and his atmospheric and intermit chat with his old friend and team mate Greg Lambert.

Show63 Phil Morris, Paul Bateman and The one and only Colin Peters!

This week instead of driving hundreds of miles after work I had the very pleasant experience of meeting Phil Morris at the Oswestry Road racing Museum, this place is well worth a trip! Phil and I had never met but having so much in common the conversation came easily. Joining us was Paul 'Battie' Bateman looking to Phil his long time sponsor for a little help with our F1 project.

In the second part of the show I ended up in 'sunny' Neston to talk to Colin peters about his fascinating racing life in solos and sidecars. With great stories, truly high jinks and a long association with some kid called Des .

As always my thanks to all involved.

Show65: Terrie Salone , interviewed in a (not so) sunny Spain by Marion Carnall .

These girls have a thirty year friendship and I think you will 'see' that from this interview. Marion, our latest roving reporter interviews on of the most notable British lady passengers, Terrie Salone.

The friendship and camaraderie just oozes from these two, the times they must have had!

Remember kids its not over yet!!

BEARs taster day at Mallory Park 27 of this month. There is a £13 insurance charge, you have to have a driving licence and gear (we can help with that) but that's all! If you think that you might be interested in the BEARs sidecar series please call David Sykes on 01162 876119 or SlowPhil on 07730784975.

My thanks go out to Marion Carnall and Terrie Salone for their efforts in making this most interesting show!

Show66 The Second BEARs Experience Day

Friday, not always a good idea if you are trying to get working folk to come and support an event like this but with the help of Mallory Park management, MCN, Scrubbers Leathers and the whole of the BEARs group we pulled it off!

31 folk took BEARs SideCars out on track, both drivers and passengers (sorry Stan). Novices and retired racers, their faces, painted with bright smiles on a day that held our hearts in its warmth, friendship and glory.

Our class is brand new and in this, only our second year we are expecting grids in the second half of the season in double figures. This has been archived only through these free days and although this has cost the club a modest sum, the return could very well be felt for years to come.

Stan Dibben , Tony Hewitt and Steve Webster , world champions, friends and true gentlemen were in attendance and even got on my bikes!

As always my thanks go out to all the people who have helped me make this show .

Show69 British F2 from Oulton with Marrion and Team ARC's Recovery from Darley Moor.

Another great interview from Marion talking to Shaun Parker about the new season, his hopes for the British championship and the TT.

I'm at Darley with Jayne Morris and Team ARC, watching open mouthed as Daryl Gibson soaks up the punishment from the super fast Lee Crawford. Break problems solved Lee, Mike and the team head to Silverstone For round two of the FSRA British championship.

My thanks to Marion, Jayne, Mike and Lee for their work on this show .

Show72 A TT special Marion and Gary Bloke on top form!



Chris Wells and Jeff Gillard come to us all the way from Canada and talk with gusto about the help that they have received from all the usual suspects in the sidecar paddock, their hopes for this and TT's in years to come!

Paul Owen (Moz) TT veteran from Llangollen chats to his good friend Marion Carnall about some of his super performances in the TT, high jinx pole dancing in the race office and some of the TT stars that are his personal friends.

Taking a short step back in time, Gary Bloke bathes in the enthusiasm that flows from James Neave and John Lawson as they talk about what its like to be the raining British F1 team and the NCR Triumph TT effort .

My thanks to everyone involved in making this show

Show73: Marion reports from TT2015 and Gary Bloke talks to Tony Brown and Sam Christie.

Some interesting and amusing interviews from Marion Carnall featuring Tony Baker and Trevor Nation! You can almost taste the kippers and feel the driving rain as Marion battles with bad weather to bring these favourite sons of motor racing to SideCar Radio.

A few month back in time Gary Bloke talks to Tony Brown and latest passenger Sam Christie about how it started for them and about their plans for the now current season.

My heart felt thanks to all involved .

Show74 Kevin Cock , a guy making history and a race meeting at Lydden Hill


In a packed show the SideCar radio team travel to Lydden Hill for a weekends racing, drinking, dancing and a very interesting interview.

Kevin Cock is a man making history, he really is! Having ‘done’ Speed week on the ‘Team Page’ 1969 Triumph Bonneville last year with great success, he and the team were going back with a bolt on sidecar to attain even more records. Now with Speed Week cancelled they will travel to the famous ‘Mojave Mile’ where sidecars are unhappily not allowed.

More from Kevin and Team Page when I meet them next year at Pendine Sands where we will be running both his and my BEARs outfits !

My thanks to all at BHR for a great weekend at Lydden Hill, and to Kevin and the team for all the help in making this show.

Show 75 Ian Johnson, Michelle and team try to save a life, maybe yours!

At the high spot of the CRMC calendar I talk to one of Sidecar racing's most charismatic men Ian 'porn star' Johnson.

Ian has in recent times had a very personal introduction to prostate cancer and because of this and with the help of Michelle Luhr, Cup cakes and team is making a determined effort to raise awareness on the sidecar grid to this ever present danger to men of a certain age......whoops that will be me!

This week sees the SideCar radio team at Darley Moor and I get interviewed by one of the current crop of super star British Champions.....Winnie
