Farleigh Castle 2012

[pirie593]

Entries for Farleigh Castle 2012 have opened.

The event will be held 14, 15 & 16 September and this year will host an Evo MXdN as well as the Twin Shock Veterans MXdN.  In addition, for all those sewing machine fans, there is an International pre' 83 event which will see many entrants from mainland Europe (especially France).

For details of events and registration, go to http://www.vetsmxdn.co.uk/

Now is the time to make a commitment so that you can save the necessary readies and organise a bike over there.  In addition, we will need time to sort out teams, uniforms etc etc.

Any interested riders should post here and make contact with Oz riders who attended the previous events (Rusty, John, Brad etc) to discuss the mechanics of getting there, motorhome hire, arranging bikes etc etc.

Cool.. I entered the 50+ this year, the over 40 guys are too fast!

im sure my attendance will reduce the average lap times 

[holeshot buddy]

hate to tell you this but the over 50s lap times in general
were quicker than the over 40s except top 5

Lovely avatar pic (is that the right word?)

She looks lovely.  Will she be accompanying you to Farleigh, I would very much like to make her acquaintance.

I'm still weighing up whether to go this year. I reckon the organisers missed a gold mine by scheduling this event on the SAME weekend as the Goodwood Revival.

For a short period of time it seemed that the 2 events would be on consecutive weekends which would have made the trip a no brainer.

I'm not having a go at the organisers, but I am just disappointed that this golden opportunity didn't come together. I reckon both events would have benefited from more overseas visitors if the events were on separate weekends.

Oh well, maybe next year... BUGGER!!

I am planning a trip to England next and Farleigh is no my list, and goodwood would have be another to do list if they where closer together, good point Ali.

Yes, John, I'm entered (over 50's).

The Farleigh date was carefully chosen to maximise attendance for mx enthusiasts.  The clash with Goodwood is unfortunate but insignificant in relation to attendance loss from overseas.
