Hamish Posted April 1 Report Posted April 1 I just have to share this with you guys as I am so proud to have been awarded the TR Register Reg Woodcock Award. It was on the members meeting webcast but I only had audio and didn’t really believe my ears the award is in the name of a great club racer and I would love to hear more about him from those that knew him and even raced with him “Reg is a legend in motorsport circles. As a club racer, he enjoyed amazing success racing TRs, mainly down to his incredible mix of driving skill with engineering prowess. He would often embarrass Aston Martins in his TR3A! This award is given to each year, to someone who has contributed significantly to motorsport of the past year.” Mick Forey the TR Register club chairman sent me the following confirmation. Congratulations are definitely in order as you did win the Reg Woodcock Trophy. Please see the attached photos. Jonathan received it on your behalf from David Appleby, our new Honorary President, shame you were not there to meet him. The citation read out by Wayne was: Reg Woodcock Trophy Competing in a black TR3A in the TR Register Sprint and Hillclimb Championship, Hamish has continued to demonstrate both pace and commitment throughout the season. A consistent front-runner, he secured an impressive 2nd overall in the 2025 championship standings, despite competing in fewer events than many of his rivals—a testament to both his skill and determination. His performances have been marked not only by strong results but by outright speed, including standout achievements such as the fastest acceleration times in competition. Having entered the championship in 2017, Hamish has steadily developed both car and driver, progressing from a newcomer to a leading competitor, with multiple class successes and consistently strong overall finishes along the way. Following in the footsteps of his late father, himself a talented competitor, Hamish represents the continuation of a proud motorsport legacy within the TR Register community. His dedication, competitive spirit, and continued success embody the very essence of this award. Hamish Roscoe amazing honour and a true surprise. Hopefully when I receive the trophy I can share some more pictures and may be Jonathan Smith our group leader could pass on the honours as he got at the meeting . Thanks Jonathan for doing the honours on the day - I didn’t know I should have been there. thank you to all who deemed me worthy Quote

Deggers Posted April 2 Report Posted April 2 Well done Hamish! A fine achievement and very well deserved indeed. Congratulations! Cheers, Deggers Quote
Ian Vincent Posted April 3 Report Posted April 3 And congratulations from me as well Hamish. As a small point, for the future, is there no way to suggest to potential recipients that they should attend? I’m sure Hamish would have enjoyed the kudos of walking up to receive a trophy, maybe with family there in support. I know I would have. Rgds Ian Quote

Rgds Ian Similarly the Wheelspinner award - the Goodwood Group would have had attendance in place had they known they were in the running for that. Quote
Dale Moore Posted April 3 Report Posted April 3 +1 to the above Strange that award recipients aren't notified beforehand. Well done Hamish anyway 👍 Dale Quote

Rgds Ian Par for the course, I was given a gold award many many years ago and never knew anything about it till at least six months later when chatting to a member of the Sussex group on an unrelated matter, still took another month before the tiny badge ever got to me.

Hogie thanks H would love to hear more of Reg and the old tr racing crew - a TRAction article even. No mechanical sympathy was my dad’s view. Probably why I got so few drives of his Alvis and beat him in a shared drive in colerne. 1 hour ago, james christie said: "I want to know why you are so bloody quick off the line!" Age, my boy, age.

dave bailey Posted April 4 Report Posted April 4 Well done Hamish, well deserved. I remember racing with Reg, I believe if memory serves, that it was my first race in 1985 at Oulton Park . He was running I think twin Amal carbs, (sticking out the top of his bonnet) was in the lead, when the throttle connection came off, he stopped, managed to reconnect the throttle and still won! Those were exciting days. Dave. Quote
