MEGA REBRAND FOR THE 500cc SIDECAR ASSOCIATION

The 500cc Sidecar Association is looking to the 2025 season with a fresh sense of optimism and a brand-new club name. The club that is based in the City of Chelmsford has been rebranded as Mid-Essex Grasstrack Association (MEGA). The club has been dormant this season after facing issues securing a suitable date at the home venue but have confirmed that they will be active once again in 2025.
Club Chairman Andy Driver commented “We felt that the club’s name was no longer relevant and that has really been the case for a few years. The 500cc Sidecar Association was launched in the early 80’s as a club to promote the class which was new to these shores. That was the objective right up until the demise of the very successful Super Series. The highlight was the 2014 European Sidecar Final, a brilliant day of racing which culminated in Josh Goodwin/Liam Brown becoming the UK’s first European Champions in the class”.
Multiple British Champion Shaun Harvey took over the helm at the club in 2013 from Geoff Moorcock, a stalwart who had been a mainstay of the club since its creation right up until his passing in 2017. Harvey stepped down last year due to other commitments but remained on the committee.
“Geoff was a legend, and he loved the club” stated Driver “We would have changed the club’s name earlier, but we refrained from doing so knowing that fact. But things moved on, and although we will continue to support the 500cc sidecar class, we felt we needed a more territorial title. I’m sure Geoff would understand because would want the best for his club and the sport.”
The club are still in talks with the landowner but are looking at either September 25th or October 4th for their first MEGA meeting under the new banner.

500cc SIDECAR ASSOCIATION CANCEL JULY RACE MEETING

The 500cc Sidecar Association have made the tough decision to cancel their meeting that was due to take place at their Kings Farm Venue on July 14th. All rider entry money will obviously be refunded as the club have also confirmed that they won’t be running any events this season.
Our intention was to run a small club meeting in 2024 on a new field, but with a very narrow time frame to work with between other pre-arranged events at the venue very near to our date unfortunately time to prepare and plan is not on our side we’ve decided to make this early decision.
The committee are now looking to plan ahead to 2025!

A DARK DAY FOR OUR CLASS - RIP FLORAIN
Sunday was a dark day for our sport, especially the 500cc Sidecar Class.
Sadly passenger Florain Niedermayer passed away after a crash in Eenrum. An accident that also left Marco Hundsracker hospitalised with serious injuries.
At the same meeting Team 77 also crashed heavily. Shaun Hughes and Louis Bennett were both taken to hospital. Louis has injuries but has been released to return home. Shaun remains in hospital in Holland awaiting an assessment.
Back on home soil Chris Hay and Karl Hokaniuk had a big off at Fenland. Karl was released from Peterborough Hospital, in which Chris still remains for further treatment.
The 500cc Sidecar Association would like to send our condolences to Florain's family, friends and fellow competitors for your loss.

Get Well Soon Marco, Shaun, Louis, Chris and Karl.

Our thoughts also go out to the members and volunteers at MC Eenrum & Omstreken.
