One dead in moto race wreck.

Bedfordshire rider Kenny Irons was killed on the warm-up lap of the Shell Oil British Formula One TT race at Cadwell Park on Sunday, 26 June 1988. Irons was twenty-seven-year old.

The accident happened when the motorcycle of fellow British rider Keith Huewen developed a misfire and slowed exiting Charlies bend onto Park Straight. Irons' red and white Honda #0 hit the back of Huewen's, with Kenny being thrown off and tumbling down the side of track into the bottom of the dip on the straight. Irons' machine slid up the track out of harms way. Some of the following riders were involved in the mishap, one of them, Mark Phillips from Chelmsford, Essex, dropped his machine as bunching riders tried to slow. Phillips' bike then slid into Kenny Irons at quite some speed, causing him fateful injuries.

The accident was watched by thousands of television vieuwers. It is believed Kenny Irons was still alive when taken to Louth Hospital, other sources stated he died at the scene. Both Huewen and Phillips escaped injury. One of the other riders involved in the crash was Phil Mellor who would lose his life one year later, during the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy.
