5th annual Dilly Racing Event - 2010
Who want's Goodwood?? The postponed Sticker Dilly Racing event took place on the 19th September in reasonable weather for a change and was enjoyed by a decent sized crowd. There was however a very cold wind at the top of the field where most of the following photographs were taken - I blame any blurred images on me shivering! The burger tent was kept busy and sold out!
This is the trophy everyone was anxious to get their hands on
 
There follows a selection of entrants awaiting their turn to start. This year there a chicane was added to the course to spice things up.
From the traditional
to
 
upmarket Rolls Royce of Dillys
with
 
CD player and stereo hi-fi sound system!
Now a selection of the others
 
 
 
Each dilly had five attempts at the course - some fell by the wayside with varying amounts of disintegration - but for the survivors and after some very close (and some not so close) finishes, the winners were presented with their prizes.
The overall adult winner was Chris Best of Sticker in Viagra.
Second prize went to Will Richards & Dave Bunney from St. Ewe in Recycle Cycle
First prize for the juniors went to Alex Grant & James Thompson from Goonhavern in Hoof Hearty
Thanks go to Michael Grigg for the use of the field
and to all the helpers and public for their support.
4th annual Dilly Racing Event - 2009
The final day of Carnival Week reverted to normal carnival week weather - cloudy, windy with some showers. However it didn't dampen the spirits of those off to the Dilly Racing! The event was once again held courtesy of Michael Grigg in the field at the bottom of Modus Lane. Entry numbers were a little disappointing, but the competitors present put on good entertainment for the crowd. Of course everyone was looking for spills, but I only saw one which is recorded below. The Voice photographer, who was waiting hopefully, unfortunately had to leave before it happened so the only record is on my video. I have taken a still frame from the video - quality is rubbish but it's the best I can do.
Overall winners of the adult and junior races were presented with impressive cups and monetary prizes.
Adult - Mark Richard and Andy Caff Junior - Will Rowe
The poor weather ensured that the barbecue and hot drinks went well, but ice cream and cold drinks sales met some resistance!
3rd annual Dilly Racing event - 2008
With the annual fete having to be cancelled due to adverse weather conditions the dilly racing was much appreciated by an enhanced attendance. With more events and classes plus cream teas, barbecue, ice creams etc it eclipsed last year's results. If anyone has any photographs or video footage available to go on this site please Email details
2nd annual Dilly Racing event - 2007
Following the trial inaugural meeting in 2006, this year's event was bigger, better and well attended.
A motley selection of machines appeared - some under construction on the Cube Garage forecourt are recorded below.
