    Daley Mathison Racing #104 Newsletter 8 - 2014 Mid-Season Review July 6th 2014 Opening with two first-place finishes at Darley Moor, an excellent performance at his debut TT and some impressive results returned at other International and National meetings, Daley's 2014 season to this mid-point has proved to be very successful. This latest Newsletter describes the season so far and looks forward to the remainder of the racing year, with a tabulated summary of current race results appearing at the end of the document. Overview Whilst the overall programme of race meetings was similar to that of 2013, the season started with a significant upgrade of machinery thanks to the commitment of Hol-Taj Exports and Team Classic Suzuki. Daley's other principal sponsors, listed later, have all contributed significantly and he hopes that his results and his representation of their interests have justified their support and trust. Naturally, the highlight has been Daley's debut at the TT, where he was very proud to be awarded two Bronze Replicas and to have achieved a fastest lap speed of 120.184mph during the Superbike Race. Overall, Daley has had an excellent season so far, especially considering that the Superbike was a new On the start line for the Superport Race 1 at the TT build.

This division of amateur and professional prevented him from racing until 1955 when he entered and won his first race at the old Killarney in an 1172cc side-valve Ford Spyder, beating the South African champion Bill Jennings in a handicap event. He raced a variety of cars after that and secured the Western Province Championship on two separate occasions. When his racing career ended, Adrian again became involved in the administration of the WPMC and this involvement as an administrator continues to today.

  • 2008 Event Report/Souvenirs
    2008 Event Report/Souvenirs Music Festival goers have Glastonbury, Opera Buffs have Glyndebourne and Horse lovers have Badminton. Motorcyclists have Mallory Park. This is the ‘Glastonbury’ of the motorcycle. There was even a little bit of mud around on Friday! Thousands of enthusiasts descended on Mallory Park for the weekend of 11/12/13 July to see and hear the ‘stars’ perform. But unlike Glastonbury, many of the enthusiasts were performers in their own right having signed up for appearances on the 1.35 mile track on both the Saturday and Sunday. However the VMCC had its own musical element this year with the famous Ace Cafe providing their “Rock N Roll” stage in the big entertainment marquee which included DJs and live bands each night. Rain on Friday seemed reluctant to give way, but Saturday did dawn dry and it remained so throughout most the day for the continuous succession of road machine track sessions that saw almost 1000 machines on the track in the course of the track sessions for road machines. The superb sunny day on Sunday brought record crowds through the gates who witnessed another 1000 machines out for Track sessions for road and (mostly) racing machinery. Indeed, roads around Mallory came to a standstill as traffic queued for more than an hour to get into the public car park! If Saturday was members’ day, then Sunny Sunday was the day for the ‘stars’- both man and machine. The Past Masters demonstrated to us that they have lost none of their style and their élan. Some iconic machines from the past wafted stylishly around the circuit piloted by some iconic names including Phil Read, Mick Grant, Sammy Miller & Charlie Williams.

With all the hot days recently it’s been a chore to do any work in the shed. Even the thought of donning all the riding gear takes second place to finding a cool spot to hang out and do nothing. The AGM held in November was well attended. Unfortunately little interest was shown by the members in regard to standing for a position on the committee. We did manage to fill most positions with the same old faces and one new one, Mark Richardson. Welcome aboard Mark. Unfortunately no one wanted to do the job of Secretary or Events Committee. Barry has offered to help out where he can but that doesn’t solve the problem that these positions need to be filled by members who have the time and interest to devote to the job. As mentioned at the November meeting, your committee has been looking into a possible new club web site.

  • 2014 Season Review
    Daley Mathison Racing #104 Newsletter 10 - 2014 Season Review October 30th 2014 Overview The 2014 Road Racing season was probably the best of Daley's career so far. After a very successful year in 2013 Daley was delighted to win his first Grand Prix race in 2014, winning the Ultra Lightweight Race at the International Ulster Grand Prix - "The World's Fastest Road Race" - in August and aboard the Logan Racing Honda RS125. Showing great talent across the classes, he followed this with an extremely impressive 6th place finish on his Hol-Taj Suzuki GSX-R1000 in the Superbike Race at the same meeting, finishing two places in front of 8-times TT winner Ian Hutchinson on the BSB Milwaukee Yamaha R1. He consolidated this with a tremendous 7th place finish in the Supersport Race aboard the Hol-Taj Suzuki GSX-R600. 2014 also saw Daley make his debut appearance at the most famous motorcycle road race in the world - the International Isle of Man TT. Extremely fast, highly demanding and notoriously difficult to learn, the 37.73 mile-long public roads circuit provided some exceptional racing this year with no less than 4 lap records being broken. Rising to the occasion Daley returned the excellent first-time results of 35th and 41st in the Supersport races. And he was delighted to have achieved a best lap average speed in excess of 120mph at the meeting. Winner at the 2014 Ulster Grand Prix Aberdare Park in July saw Daley proudly crowned the Welsh Open Champion whilst riding the Hol-Taj Supersport machine on his first visit to the South Wales venue since 2010.
