Hamsterley Racing Anyone?

[Baker]

There are 4 Races planned

December
January
February
March

The exact dates are not out yet although they will be planned so not to clash with the Innerleithen dates which are;

January 26th & 27th
February 23rd & 24th
March 22nd & 23rd


I would really recomend people to race this series, they are so much fun, the track is great fun, a good mix of types of track. When i have raced there in the past i have just felt like i have been on another uplift weekend rather than a race, is very laid back and not too competetive!

Try get to them when the dates are out, i will be trying no doubt!

[fragy]

reckon i could be up for a couple of them James, keep me up to date mate.

[Baker]

Awesome, good to hear, will keep this thread on the go for the exact dates as soon as they come out!

Any chance of the jerseys been ready by that time? I haven't heard much about them for a while, has the idea gone dead?

[fragy]

idea not dead mate, just having the time and a design that suits all.

[Baker]
