Classic Racing Motorcycle Club Meeting

CRMC ELEBRATES ACU ANNIVERSARY AT CROFT

Croft Circuit near Darlington will echo to the sound of yesteryear once again when the Classic Racing Motorcycle Club hold their annual meeting over three days this forthcoming weekend (Friday 8th to Sunday 10th August).

And with the sport’s governing body, the Auto Cycle Union, celebrating its centenary this year, riders will be competing for an additional trophy with the addition of the ACU 100 Handicap Race.

The format for the event will see one hundred Classic and Post Classic riders selected to compete from various categories with heats being run on Friday afternoon to determine the grid for Saturday’s final. The race will be handicapped to allow the smaller engine sizes a chance against the bigger bikes and the top three riders will be awarded trophies and garlands.

Throughout the weekend, there will be plenty of action with no less than 21 classes, both solo and sidecar, set to be fought out around the 2.13 mile full circuit and with top riders such as Lea Gourlay, Mike Hose, Phil Sharpe, Allan Oversby and Colin Breeze in the entry, the racing is bound to be fast and furious.

Practice starts on Friday and Saturday at 9.30am and 12.00 noon on Sunday with racing immediately afterwards on all three days. Adult admission is just £6.00 on Friday and Saturday and £12.00 on Sunday with accompanied children under 15 admitted free.
