The first date, an adult and youth grasstrack venture, has been pencilled in for May 9. The club had been holding off an announcement until a venue was sourced for the grasstracks but with work still ongoing on that front, it was thought best to let everyone know the season plans now.

2014 was a very positive year for CDMCC and its aim for this season is to build on the successes and improve the already popular grasstrack and endurocross events.

Although personnel is still relatively minimal at the club’s core, there is a fantastic mix of youth and experience around CDMCC that want to promote events to a high standard.

A club spokesman said: “Grasstracks have always been our forte with it being an excellent place for those new to the sport to begin racing so naturally, this makes up the bulk of our plans.

“In 2015 there will be a three-round grasstrack championship for the youth competitors, while the adults will also have two grasstrack events - an increase from 2014.

“The season will again be rounded off with the spectacular Super EnduroCross at The Dalriada Festival in Glenarm after recent confirmation from the festival promoters.”

An exciting season of racing lies ahead, all that’s missing is a venue for the grasstracks. If anyone knows someone who may have land available, the club would urge them to get in contact as soon as possible.
