Starting at 11.30am, all grades, both senior and youth will be catered for, as will the TY class and Pre 65 twin shock.

With the event being closed to club, no licence is needed but competitors will, obviously, have to be paid up members of the organising club. While the event is part of the MCUI series, it’s also the second round of the popular Michelin Mid Antrim championship.
