Dave Houghton: A Legend on the Sidecar TT Circuit From the 1970s to the 1980s, Dave Houghton made his mark in the exhilarating world of sidecar racing. Partnering with various talented co-drivers, he left an indelible impression on the prestigious Sidecar TT races. In 1972, alongside D L Walton, Dave showcased his skills aboard a UBCS Triumph during the 500 Sidecar TT. Their teamwork and determination earned them recognition among their peers. The following year, in 1974, Roy Woodhouse joined forces with Dave as they raced a Honda in the 750 Sidecar TT. The duo's synchronized movements and unwavering focus propelled them to new heights. In 1975, Trevor Ireson became Dave's partner for the thrilling event. Together on a Konig bike, they conquered challenges and pushed boundaries during the intense competition of the 1000 Sidecar TT. Continuing his streak of success into 1976, Chas Birks accompanied Dave as they rode a BKS Konig in both the 500cc and later in that same year -the powerful yet demanding-1000cc class at Sidecar TT races. Their performances were nothing short of awe-inspiring. Throughout his career, Ashley Wooller proved to be one of Dave's most trusted teammates. In multiple editions of this iconic race series such as those held in '78 (Roboserve Yamaha), '79 (Reemaun), '80 (Sidecar TT) or even later on partnering up again with Eddy Yarker ('84 Reemaun). These two individuals demonstrated unparalleled synergy and shared triumph after triumph together. Dave Houghton's name will forever be etched into sidecar racing history books due to his remarkable achievements at these legendary events. His dedication to perfection combined with exceptional driving skills ensured that he would always be remembered as a true legend on the Sidecar TT circuit.
