In this print from BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are transported back to September 20,1923, witnessing the birth of a legendary event - the First Manx Amateur Road Race Championship (M. A. R. R. C. ). The image showcases an awe-inspiring sight as 31 determined staretsr gather in anticipation of this historic race. Among them is Ken Twemlow, who proudly starts at No. 1. This particular edition of the championship holds immense significance in its early years. However, it wasn't until 1929 that multiple disqualifications due to varying interpretations of amateur status led to the adoption of its now-familiar name - simply "the Manx". This alteration would forever solidify its place as one of the most prestigious road races on record. The photograph captures a moment frozen in time; an era when passion for motorcycle racing was just beginning to take hold. It serves as a testament to the dedication and enthusiasm shared by these pioneers who paved the way for future generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, let us appreciate not only their courage but also their commitment towards preserving and promoting amateur road racing. This image encapsulates not just a competition but also embodies the spirit and camaraderie that define such events. BikeSport TT Race Pics has expertly captured this rare glimpse into motorcycling's past with utmost precision and reverence. It reminds us why photographs like these continue to inspire enthusiasts worldwide while honoring those who laid down tire tracks
