MACKENZIE JNR PIPS MACKENZIE SENIOR AS EASTON FLIES!
In the family battle between the Mackenzies, it was young Taylor who ended up in 5th place for his 125cc race while his dad, the racing legend Niall, qualified a very credable 6th place in the XR1200 Harley Davidson race. Niall is making a one-off racing return, having not raced at Knockhill for four years.
