Former AMCA Motocross rider from Wolverhampton Scott Illidge died on Monday 27 June after being involved in a road accident in Shropshire near Bishops Castle.
Scott who was 38 first rode AMCA Motocross with the Wolverhampton & District Auto Club in 1989 scoring successes in the junior classes. In 1991 Scott and nephew Peter both rode for the Wolverhampton Team in the Black Country Olympics Motocross held at Habberley Valley near Bewdley with father George helping the club as Clerk of the Course and Uncle John the starter. Scott helped in 1992 with Announcing at the club’s events and in September he won the 250 seniors race at the old Brownhills circuit. After 6 years Scott stopped riding but was back in 1996 for a brief period and later retired again in 2002 scoring a 2nd place in the Wolverhampton club meeting in May at the Hungry Hill circuit near Bewdley riding a 250 Yamaha in the seniors. He stopped riding motocross in 2002 but still enjoyed his road bike.
Sympathies go to his family especially to George from all former riders of the Amca including his friends from the Wolverhampton & District Auto Club. The funeral is on Tuesday 12 July at Busbury Crematorium, Wolverhampton at 11.30am. All friends welcome.
