Armoy 'Race of Legends' on screen

This year’s event held on the 6th and 7th August attracted a large crowd to the village of Armoy for the second “Race of Legends” meeting, with heavy rain preventing practice on the Friday, Saturday saw spectators waiting for a packed day of racing with top riders battling it out for supremacy.

And they were not disappointed - indeed racing in all classes was so close it kept everyone enthralled.

The circuit itself has become very popular with not only our own local riders but also many overseas riders taking part in all classes, with no fewer than 59 newcomer’s eager to learn the circuit in 2010.

With coverage of this year’s event about to be released, The Armoy Club is very much indebted to Colin James and Anna Masefield in the making of the DVD, and taking time out from their busy schedule and departing from the usual practice of making films for television which included the recent Joey Dunlop Remembered.

The Armoy 2010 Races DVD captures all of the 10 races on race day, and with five cameras positioned around the circuit it catches all the action resulting in spectacular coverage in this 1hour 20 minutes film and with George McCann’s excellent commendatory and Stephen Watson as narrator it’s definitely worth viewing.

So make a date in your diary and come along and bring your friends to this special launch and showing of what is indeed a great DVD and relive all the excitement on the big screen of the 2010 Armoy Road Races on Thursday 21 October at 8pm, for a night of pure road racing between the hedges and help support the Armoy Club.

Admission includes supper and is payable at the door.
