1955: A race is born<br />
Summer frocks and shirtsleeves<br />
were the order of the day as thousands<br />
of spectators crowded the<br />
vantage points around the course<br />
to witness what was described as<br />
an ambitious three-race programme<br />
for a first ever meeting!<br />
Manxman Derek Ennett took<br />
the honours of winning the first<br />
ever race, the 350cc over 12 laps<br />
of the 4.25-mile course, after a<br />
race long tussle with Manchester’s<br />
Dave Chadwick. Despite grabbing a<br />
20-yard lead from the starting grid,<br />
Manxman Ennett was continually<br />
challenged by Chadwick throughout<br />
the 12-lap race and only just<br />
managed to pip Chadwick by four<br />
lengths at the flag.<br />
