Club vice-president and event organizer, Gavin Penell was thrilled with the success of the event which ran smoothly and without a hitch.

“No major accidents occurred on the night so we saw a lot of spectacular, hard and fast racing,” Gavin said.

“The crowd of more than 2500 was great and food from the canteen was excellent. We owe a huge thanks to all our local sponsorships that made the event happen.”

Gavin indicated the success of this year’s event could ensure that it continues to grow in the coming year’s.

“All local riders where extremely proud of the event and the weather conditions and can’t wait until next year’s event. Hopefully the event next year will be the same as this year’s meeting but with more riders because word is travelling fast”.
