iris123 20,979 Posted January 14, 2019 Was wondering,due to the passage of time anything new had been found about Mason? What is he doing now and did he laugh when somebody confused him with a sponsor? If nothing else,the thread deserves another look 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iris123 20,979 Posted January 15, 2019 Good spot.Could this then be the father (who ran the mx shop)? And his son was the person who was sought in the title,I wonder? Mason Weir instead of Wear.Now that might have stopped all the confusion!! By the way,is there any evidence a sponsor has been listed in a Programme rather than a rider?

Going a bit further, the name is spelt differently, as Mayson in that pdf - If you google Mayson Weir, you find a cumbrian sheep farmer, with a little video on youtube where he tells of moving to Herefordshire in his youth for a few years before he went back home to minding his sheep in the lake district. The age of the bloke looks about right i'd say. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeP7PMarqXQHer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So if the father had the same name as the son, and the father sponsored the son, does that mean Gustix was right? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
