Wheeling into Farleigh Castle Vets MX

Wheeling into Farleigh Castle Vets MX

The anticipation is mounting for the original Vets Race, which takes place at the historic Farleigh Castle circuit on the weekend of September 14th/15th. As the only vet’s event in the UK with sixty riders on the line in each class, the entry is stacked with riders returning to the much-loved event year after year.

Most will need no introduction to Brian Wheeler. The journeyman racer made it to be a Grand Prix rider for KTM GB and, later in his career, a GP mechanic for the mighty RWJ Honda squad. Wheeler is a regular on the vet’s scene both in the UK and internationally. Affectionally known as “Spud” he is one of the most friendly and approachable guys in the pits, always has a smile on his face and is more than happy to take a trip down memory lane (ask him about how he passed JMB), that is until he puts a helmet on, and then it’s all business.

He will be racing a Honda CR 500 in the over 50’s class and will be at the sharp end, that’s for sure.

Wheeler joins a star-studded lineup that includes Tommy Searle, Rob Herring, Mark Jones, and Doug Dubach, to name a few.

It’s sure to be a great weekend filled with fantastic racing and a celebration of motocross from years past.

The gates open at noon on Thursday, September 12th, for riders and weekend campers.

Grab your tickets and join us for a fantastic weekend of vet’s racing.

Saturday, Sunday, Weekend tickets and camping passes are available at https://www.farleighcastlevetsmx.co.uk
