EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous occasion in motorcycle racing history. The image captures the triumphant Derek Ennett, astride his powerful AJS machine, as he crosses the finish line to become the first-ever winner of the Southern 100 race in 1955. The significance of this victory is further amplified by the fact that Ennett's Castletown home was barely a mile away from where he achieved this remarkable feat. This local hero's triumph on his home turf adds an extra layer of pride and admiration for his incredible achievement. As we gaze at this timeless photograph, it becomes evident that not only did Ennett possess exceptional riding skills and determination but also an unwavering connection with his surroundings. The Bolown circuit, spanning 25 miles, has remained unchanged over all these years, serving as a testament to its enduring allure and challenging nature. This print serves as a poignant reminder of how passion and dedication can lead to extraordinary accomplishments. It encapsulates the essence of motorcycle racing - bravery, skill, and an unyielding spirit. As we admire Derek Ennett's victorious moment frozen in time through this image capture by BikeSport TT Race Pics, we cannot help but be inspired by his indomitable spirit and celebrate the rich heritage of motorcycling excellence at Southern 100.
