Cost of entry is £250 per team with an additional £30 if you need to hire a transponder from us. All details on the entry form.
Once again all the proceeds will be donated to various charities.

We've now opened entries so if you'd like to take part then please get your names down, either by snail-mail post to the address on the form or to graeme@sdarmada.co.uk for making on-line entry application.

The entry form and Rules/Regs are linked below.

I used me22s and m45's and both were decent.

Where have you finished?

Don't mind spending a bit more, want to be up the pointy end if possible! Best finish we had was fourth or fifth I think at Mallory in the wet.

I can remember speaking to you years back at Caldwell I think , we've never done that well but over the last couple of years the bikes have got a lot faster so be ready for a shock .

Hi,
To be fair to all would it be a good idea to only run one type of tyre say a M45 front and back 8-) It seems to me the more money you have to spend etc .When will the first Artic team truck turn up??I can see Plop racing going in a wrong direction very soon.
JMO

The organisers do their upmost Mrvon to keep a very level playing field, with the onus always being on it being a "cheap fun" event.
The bikes are very limited in what can be done to them within the rules, especially with regards to performance mods.
Also, as their is no prize money involved, there is little likelihood in people getting too carried away.
The tyre thing isn't really relevant as prices of those don't vary too much and its a mod which errs on the side of safety rather than performance anyway.
Thats something which we actively encourage.

BTW, my racing slicks cost me £20 each. Bargain!! :D
