ANOTHER FIRST FOR SCARBOROUGH
This weekends’ Barry Sheene Festival at Oliver’s Mount Scarborough has attracted another first. Barry’s son Freddie will now ride an RG500 in the parade and the BBC are filming for a documentary about Barry’s career, to celebrate the occasion Barry’s widow, Stephanie, has sent over the original world championship winning RG500 Suzuki. This will be paraded alongside 15 times world champion Giacomo Agostini from Italy.
The action starts at 9.00am both days with the first parade at 12.30pm followed by racing at 1.00pm. On Sunday there will be the concourse competition open to all race ticket holders, where there will be trophies for a number of categories plus the best replica Sheene Suzuki and rider, this competition will be judged by Ago and Mick Grant and the lucky winner of the Sheene competition will be allowed to do a lap of the circuit.
Roll on this exciting weekend. Advance tickets have now sold out but there will be plenty of tickets for sale at the main entrance to the circuit
