The track will be excellently prepared & presentation is always a trademark of this forward-thinking club which seems to bring the very best out of the youngsters & stars of the future.
Youth are at the forefront of this meeting with all 4 classes being well supported. Levi Collins, Alfie Shipp, Charlie Dowd & Preston Baker in their respective Auto/Cadet groups will be front runners. Moving onto the hotly contested Juniors, Archie Rolph, Finley Theobald & Ryan Curl will be names to look out for amongst others. The Intermediate class sees Jesse James & Ollie Binns as the main protagonists but Jacob Phillips & Max Derrick are just two names who will be trying to upset the form book.
Supporting the Youth will be an array of talent in the adult classes, the awesome 1000cc Sidecars will again be in the thick of the action with top crews from all across the country in attendance where Mark Cossar/Carl Blyth multi British Champions will be difficult to beat.
The club has also assembled a superb entry of 500cc Solos, Charley Powell probably heads the field based on previous performances at Dalton’s events however Jake Mulford, Mickie Simpson, Cameron Taylor, Martin Williams, Luke Harris, Jack Roberts, Jason Garrad & Alfie Bowtell plus many more will surely make the racing fast & furious.
Adding to the day’s entertainment will be the Upright Solos with their older style bikes although they are still very competitive & always put on a good show plus the Old & New Sidecar class which some consider an ideal introduction into the 3 wheeled world.
Racing commences at 12.30 with practice at 10.15, pits are accessible to the general public, hot & cold food plus a bar with TV is available, RTS Product Stall on show, free camping is on offer overnight from noon on Saturday & with admission at a reasonable £15 for adults with under 16’s free it really is a great time for the whole family to enjoy.
