George O'Dell and Cliff Holland in the rain clinching the 1977 Sidecar Title. O'Dell was the first man to lap the IoM at over 100mph in a sidecar outfit.

Some interesting stuff (well, I found it so) about O'Dell here:

The rig in your photos, Mr G, was probably OW31 powered; but O'Dell had recently done good with a Kenig engine (flat four two-stroke designed to power a speedboat). Them are kool engines!
Thanks for that, sad story. The outfit was a Seymaz, though the link says different, and the engine an OW31.
Have to ask — is sidecar motorcycle racing still a thing?
