Sticky who?

Sticky hailed from Cullybackey in County Antrim and also owned "Sticky's Snip Joint", a barber shop in Ballymena (near the race track). He continued to race through to the early eighties with a series of distinctive and innovative cars that are all recorded here for posterity. Sticky's first involvement in motor sport was rallying but he became frustrated with the costs involved and decided to move onto the ovals. An initial flirtation with an apparently ungainly Superstox (alas no pictures available!) was somewhat unsuccessful and he joined a number of other drivers who persuaded promoter Tommy Shaw to start a Hot Rod formula.

I would like to acknowledge the work of Robin Clark whose superb photographs are used throughout this site.
