Ladies Day is for women to meet and discuss their ideas, thoughts and questions in a female environment as sometimes it can be a bit daunting on the mixed male/female forums to ask simple questions.

The 1955 250cc Sportmax NSU and the 1957 250cc Mondial
The 1955 250cc Sportmax NSU (Photo 1)
In 1956 Sammy was leading the TT at the Creg Ny Baa.The 1956 Isle of Man TT was the first round of the 1956 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. It took place between 4 June and 8 June 1956 at the Snaefell Mountain Course for the Senior and Junior TTs and the Clypse Course for the Lightweight, Ultra Lightweight and Sidecar TTs.
Only about 20 genuine Sportmax machine were built and their riders included many of the top riders of the day including John Surtees, Mike Hailwood and Sammy Miller. Sammy's fantastic record on his fully-faired Sportmax includes second place in the 1955 and 1956 Ulster GPs, three consecutive victories in the North-West 200 and more than 35 other wins in Irish road races.
Riding the TT in 1957 on his 250cc Mondial (Photo 2)
The 1957 Lightweight TT Race held on the Clypse Course was over 10 laps and 107.90 miles and was dominated by Cecil Sandford riding for the F.B.Mondial marque and team-mate Sammy Miller. By lap 2, Sandford led Miller by 2 seconds and Tarquinio Provini, also riding for Mondial, in a distant 3rd place. By lap 7, Miller had caught up and on lap 9 passed Sandford between the Creg-ny-Baa and Ballacoar Corner for the lead. At Governor's Bridge on the last lap, Miller slipped off his Mondial, allowing Sandford to win the 1957 Lightweight TT Race at an average race speed of 75.80 mph from the MV Agusta pair of Luigi Taveri and Roberto Colombo. An exhausted Miller is forced to push-in his Mondial to finish in 5th place.
Both these wonderful bikes can be seen in the Museum.
