Southern 100: Founds/Walmsley Power To Sidecars Qualifying Victory



Following the Supersport challengers latest qualifying stints, attentions turned towards who would take P1 in the battle for Sidecar pole position.


You could have made a case for multiple driver/passenger partnerships gaining this accolade, ultimately though nothing could stop FHO Racing’s Pete Founds/Jevan Walmsley.


Their fourth timed lap, saw the second fastest TT crew in history break the 100-mph mark, lapping at 100.731 mph.


A shade over 3 seconds in arrears to Founds/Walmsley were Tim Reeves/Kevin Rousseau (98.617) whilst third fastest was the vastly experience, TT winning pairing of John Holden/Dan Sayle (97.056).


Completing the six on the live timing leader board were Greg Lambert/Andrew Haynes, Conrad Harrison/Andy Winkle and Michael Russell/Liam Gordon.


Unfortunately, not long after Founds/Walmsley tumultuous feat, the session was red-flagged.


With the session not re-starting, Founds/Walmsley, Reeves/Rousseau, Holden/Sayle were the confirmed top three from second Sidecars qualifying.
