Road Racing: Armoy Road Race entries are flowing in

For Armoy Road Races and RiverRidge Recycling third time's the charm as Tyco Suzuki's William Dunlop is pictured with Clerk of the Course, Bill Kennedy, Pamela Jordan, Business Development Manager, RiverRidge Recycling and William Munnis Chairman of the AMRRC at the renowned Dark Hedges near Armoy.

Now in its sixth year, Armoy Road Races are set for another fine year as entries from Italy, Czech Republic, Republic of Ireland and England have already been submitted for the races this July.

With just under two months to the closing date the Clerk of the Course at Armoy Road Races is urging road racers to get their entries in as they had to turn people away last year.

Bill Kennedy, Clerk of the Course, said, “I’m delighted that we’ve had a solid number of entries to date and to see a wide spectrum of entries for both the Supersport, Senior Support as well as the Junior Support and Super Twin races but I’d urge anyone thinking about racing at Armoy in July this year to get their entries in as soon as possible.

“The closing date is Tuesday 1st July 2014 at 12 noon and entries can be downloaded from our website at www.amrrc.com. We had some fantastic racing last year which I hope will be replicated.

“There is no reason why the 2014 event shouldn’t be as good as the previous years actually if it is possible I think this year could be better.”

Armoy Road Races are sponsored by the NI Tourist Board and Moyle District Council’s Tourism Events Fund.

Bike Week 2014 is from 20th – 26th July. For more information on the RiverRidge Recycling’s ‘Race of the Legends’ visit www.amrrc.com or search Facebook and join the official fan page.
