FASTEDDYRACING.COM is pleased to announce the arrival of a new, fun 3 round MXC series for the winter months ahead. Running a moto duro type format, the events will be based in Shropshire on stubble field venues, offering riders a winter blast and chance to keep bike fit.
With events in November and December 08 and in January 2009 the events will offer the riders, 2 x 1hr races each, with classes for all ability’s catered for. The 3 dates will run on SATURDAYS giving increased flexibility and choice to the competitors.
The dates are as follows: Saturday 22nd November, @ Boreton Farm, Shrewsbury. Saturday 20th December, @ Venue TBA, Shropshire. Saturday 4th January 2009, @ Venue TBA, Shropshire. The 8 classes will be: Expert Enduro, Expert MX, Clubman Enduro, Senior/Junior MX, Over 40’S, Sportsman, Novice, and Youth 14-16.
MXC (Moto X Country) is a mixture of MX and XC racing and really does bring good quality, fun racing to the masses, this series will be one not to miss.
With the circuits being designed and planned to be fun, fast and flowing, the opportunity to get some good winter bike time in a professional and organised environment could not be better.
Getting booked in for the series or an individual round could not be easier, Simply call Mrs Edmondson on 01543 370070 or e mail mandy.edmondson@virgin.net and for more track based info, call Fast Eddy himself on 07973563191. |
Then the Sunday 30th November will have a MOTUL MOTO DURO event. Each rider will get 2 x 1 hour races with separate results and trophies for each race (each race is separately scored).
This time however WOR are splitting the classes with the Sportsman/Novice/Youth going separately to the Experts/Clubman and Over 40’s.
This will ensure a none too crowded track and riders of the same ability on the course at the same time….perfect stuff!!
These Moto Duro formats certainly fill quickly because of the MX rider interest (mx riders use moto duros for great winter bike time and training!) so once again WOR urge riders to get booked in ASAP for either of the days sport at Corbett’s Raceway.

So there you have it, Shropshire is the place to be this November for your Scrambling off road bike fun….

| AMCA Transponder News (Unofficial) |
|
Months of speculation may soon be over as it seems the final details of the AMCA's 'transponders-for-all' are being hammered out.
Dedicated AMCA transponders, from race proven AMB, will cost £70 for five years, after which the cost will be £10 per year for registration or £20 per year for registration and warranty - which seems like a very good deal indeed! The low cost is only available due to a subsidy from the AMCA.
Each AMCA group will be issued with two laptop computers, a generator and a printer and, in theory, it will be possible to view results online at MyLaps.com in the days following each event. Existing transponders (mainly Championship riders) will integrate seamlessly with the new system at all AMCA events. Good news. |
