Hampshire sidecar pair Scott Wilkinson and Gary Burt have finished third overall in the British Motocross Championship - despite missing two of the first four races.

They did not finish lower than third in any race in the series and also contested a few World Championship rounds as well as winning every other race they contested in the UK.

Next year they are hoping to have a real push for the British title in what is likely to be Gary's last season before retiring.

Scott's bother Tony Wilkinson has also had a good season with passenger Mark Snell in the competitive Pre 1985 Twin Shock sidecar class. They have won 36 out of 48 races, winning at least one race at every single event home and abroad.

They successfully contested international events in Germany and Belgium and established themselves as number one team in the world in their class.

Success next year depends on them bringing in more sponsorship and anyone interested in joining the team should ring Tony on 07803 070022.
