Peter Oates, one of the two Clerks of Course for the Southern 100 International Road Races recently visited Tallin and placed a Memorial Plaque on behalf of the Southern 100 Club close to the scene of Joey Dunlop’s fatal accident on 2nd July 2000.

The specially engraved plague recognises ‘Yer Maun’s’ achievements around the Billown Course between 1976 and 2000.

It reads:

Joey Dunlop M.B.E. O.B.E
6 times Southern 100 Champion
42 victories on the Billown Course on the Isle of Man
The ‘Master of Billown’ is gone but not forgotten
Fondly remembered by all in the Southern 100 club
