LMC wins HSA award for the Best Speed Event of 2021

November 29th, 2021 • By: Chairman • Aintree, Events, News, sprint

Liverpool Motor Club is pleased to announce that it has been selected by the Hillclimb & Sprint Association to receive The Russ Ward Trophy for the best event in the 2021 season of the Triple M/Pirelli HSA Speed Championship.

Each year the HSA presents the award to the Club which promotes what is considered to be the best event of its Championship season, and this year Liverpool Motor Club received the award for the September Aintree Sprint.

We were delighted to attend the HSA annual lunch at the British Motor Museum (what a fantastic place!) in November to receive the award.

We couldn’t have won the award without our volunteer officials and event marshals who put in a tremendous amount of often quite physical work during the season to make our events successful and safe – thank you to every single one of you!

Awards
After a great deal of deliberation, we have reluctantly decided not to hold an annual dinner and awards presentation this time. Covid-19 hasn’t gone away and the advancing age of many of our competitors, coupled with the increasing rate of infections, has been taken into account and we don’t feel it is appropriate to hold a dinner whilst the risk of infection is still so high. We shall arrange to send trophies to the winners in due course. We hope you appreciate why we have reached this decision.

Chris Mansley

August 6th, 2021 • By: Chairman • Aintree, Bulletins, Events, News, sprint, trackdays, Uncategorized

It is with great sadness that we report that regular Aintree scrutineer Chris Mansley recently passed away after contracting Covid-19 whilst undergoing treatment for cancer. A long-standing official who started scrutineering in the mid-1980s, Chris was a regular sight at events in the North West, particularly at Speed Events and Rallies in the region.

Somewhat eccentric, Chris was one of the true characters in scrutineering. His straight-talking manner sometimes caused discussion, but he was always willing to help and advise new and seasoned competitors with his vast experience.

Chris will be greatly missed not only by the scrutineering community but also by the many competitors who met him at events.

His funeral will be held at 11.30 am on 12th August at The Church of Our Lady of Victories, East Cliff, Winkley Square, Preston PR1 3JH. Then burial will be at St Mary’s Church, Deane, Bolton at 1 pm followed by a gathering afterwards at Dunscar Conservative Club, Hardmans Ln, Bromley Cross, Bolton BL7 9HJ at 2.30.

It is hoped to have a good turnout from the motorsport world and enough people to either carry or escort Chris into the Church. Those interested in helping should contact Andy Bradley on 07425 055 892. The Ceremony and gathering are open to all.
