ACU BRITISH MASTERS GRASSTRACK CHAMPIONSHIP
27
TH SEPTEMBER 2015
MERLEY HALL FARM, WILLETT ROAD, CORFE MULLEN, NR. WIMBORNE
The country’s top grasstrack riders will be heading for Dorset later this month when Wimborne Motor Cycle Club hosts the ACU British Masters Championship at their Merley Hall Farm circuit in Corfe Mullen.
The meeting, which is due to take place on 27 September, is the UK’s premier grasstrack event and features an all star line-up in both the 500cc Solo and 1000cc Sidecar classes.
In the solos, defending champion Andrew Appleton will be keen to keep hold of the title, however he is likely to face stiff opposition from fellow Longtrack stars Richard Hall and Glen Phillips, as well as local teenage racer James Shanes. Also in the 24 strong line up is Grand Prix Ace Chris Harris (subject to speedway commitments) plus a whole host of British grasstrackers including Harland Cook, James Wright and the exciting Tim Nobes.
However, it is the Sidecars that may prove the most thrilling – former champions Mark Cossar/Carl Blyth will be eager to take back the crown from 2014 winners Rod Winterburn/Liam Brown, while Rod’s sons, Gareth and Billy will be looking to beat them all to claim their first Masters title … exciting stuff!! Grasstrack sidecars are by far the most spectacular form of 3 wheeled racing and the Masters showcases the very best crews so entertainment is guaranteed.
Practice is set for 11 am, with the first race at 1 pm. However spectators are encouraged to arrive early to ensure the best viewing positions.
