Last year’s race had to be cancelled, on safety grounds, because of a deliberate oil spillage on a section of the course.

This cancellation resulted in a major financial loss for the club but the members are determined to bounce back from this setback and with the support of sponsors, competitors and the hard working club members it is all systems go for the 2012 Mid Antrim 150
