EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the thrilling atmosphere of the 1930 Ulster Grand Prix on the Clady circuit. The image captures a defining moment as Stanley Woods, astride his powerful Norton bike with number 63 emblazoned on it, prepares to take off from the startline. His eyes focused intently ahead, he exudes determination and confidence. The race was not without its challenges; Jimmy Simpson set an impressive fastest lap but unfortunately suffered a catastrophic blow-up, leaving Stanley as the frontrunner for victory. This triumph marked an important milestone for Norton as they clinched their first UGP win. Although prize money amounted to a modest £15, Stanley's shrewdness in securing bonuses from both Norton and accessory manufacturers proved fruitful. As he crossed the finish line after enduring 252 grueling miles of intense competition, he also pocketed a healthy sum of £362 – no small feat in those times. This photograph serves as a testament to Stanley Woods' exceptional skill and tenacity behind the handlebars. It encapsulates an era when motorcycle racing was raw and exhilarating; where every twist and turn held uncertainty yet promised glory for those who dared to push boundaries.
