Sand Racing - Guernsey 23 June 2012

On our holiday in Guernsey in June this year we went to Vazon Beach to watch some motor cycle sand racing. I've not seen this before, but it's similar to speedway racing in that the races are four laps of an oval track about 400 yards round. The racing had already started when we got there and I didn't see any programmes for sale, so I don't know the names of the riders who appear in my photographs. The meeting was apparently organised by the Guernsey Motor Cycle & Car Club.



As in speedway, the sidecar races were run in a clockwise direction as the sidecars are on the left-hand side of the motorbike.


I love the opposite-lock cornering of the sidecar outfits
