NG Road Racing History
The name NG Road Racing (formerly North Gloucestershire Motor Cycle Club),
has been synonymous with the sport of motor cycle road racing since its
inception by a group of enthusiasts back in 1970. The first race meeting was
staged in 1971 at the former aerodrome of Gaydon in Warwickshire.
Over the years, NG Road Racing has been involved in staging some of the most
prestigious race series in the sport, such as: The King of Castle Combe, The
Fowler’s National Prince of Pembrey, The British Clubman’s Championships, The UK
National Sound of Singles, The UK National Open Formula One Sidecar Challenge
and, most recently, the 250GP ACU National Championship & NG Cup.
Over the years, several national, British and even world champions have
passed through the Club’s ranks. They include Neil Tuxworth, Roger Burnett,
Steve Parrish, Trevor Nation, Steve Patrickson, Steve Henshaw and and Mick
Boddice. Probably the most respected name to make it to the top is Jock Taylor,
who along with his Swedish passenger went on to lift the 1980 World Sidecar
Championship. At the time he was backed by Dennis Trollope Racing, which still
supports NG Road Racing competitors to this
day.
