Biography: Age 49, Joe Glazebrook is a motor cycle engineer from Northampton. He has considerable racing experience, having ridden short circuits at home and in Ireland, and over the Island course for many years. Joe was first in 1948 Clubman's race at Blandford, and he also won the Grand Open Handicap in the North-West "200." In 1948 he was 21st in the Junior Manx and 22nd in the Senior. The following year he turned to the T.T. and rode a Triumph in the Senior, finishing 34th at 70.39 m.p.h. after an ignition fault had developed. He started the 1950 season well by winning the General Handicap of the Leinster "200" on an A.J.S. and running second to John Lockett in the 350 c.c. class.
He came third in the same class of the North-West "200" at 77.21 m.p.h. in the Island he had to retire atter completing two laps of the Junior T.T. but was 54th in the Senior on a Triumph.
He retired in the second lap of the 1952 Junior T.T., but was 36th in the Senior, on a Norton, winning a Bronze Replica. In 1953 he was 27th in the Junior on an A.J.S., gaining a Silver Replica and 22nd in the Senior, on a Norton, adding a "bronze" to the collection.
He had two more finishes to his credit in 1954-41st in the Junior and 34th in the Senior--gaining a Bronze Replica in each race. In 1955 he retired in the Junior T.T., but was 41st, on a Norton, in the Senior race.
He again competed in the T.T. series in 1956 and won a Bronze Replica for 38th place in the Senior T.T., but his 39th place in the Junior was just outside Replica time.
In 1957 he was 48th in the Junior on an A.J.S. (Broze replica) and on the same machine was 38th in the Senior, collecting a Finisher's Award. He did not race in the Island in 1958, but in 1959 he had three "goes" - 350 c.c. Formula 1 race (11th), Junior T.T. (44th) and Senior T.T. (retired third lap). Last year he came home 52nd in the Junior T.T. and 39th in the Senior, with a couple of Finishers' Awards. (TT Special, 12 June 1961, p. 26)
