EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are transported back to the year 1946 at the prestigious Chimay race in Belgium. The image captures a historic moment in motorcycle racing history - the last UK supercharged winner before the FIM banned superchargers in Grand Prix races post-World War II. At the center of attention is Jock West, an incredibly skilled rider astride his powerful V-4 A. J. S bike. With determination etched on his face and adrenaline coursing through his veins, he shuts down everything around him after crossing the finish line as a victorious champion. The atmosphere surrounding this snapshot is electric, with spectators cheering wildly and capturing every second of this monumental achievement. The sheer speed and precision exhibited by Jock West on that fateful day left everyone awe-inspired. Although post-war regulations prohibited superchargers in Grand Prix events, it's important to note that this ban did not extend to other international races like Chimay. This allowed riders like Jock West to showcase their exceptional talents without any limitations imposed upon them. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to both Jock West's skill as a rider and A. J. S's engineering prowess during that era. It encapsulates an unforgettable moment where passion for speed met triumph against all odds – forever etched into motorcycle racing folklore.
