The Ulster Grand Prix Demonstration day…….
The Club was invited to take part in the 2017 UGP Bike Race activities and were given the newly surfaced car park behind the Hospitallity Unit. It was a fantastic opportunity to promote our 1/5th Scale Racing on both 2 and 4 wheels and the crowds that spectated were treated to some ” interesting” racing on the damp and slippery Tarmac.
The Bikes had a lot of interest, especially from some of the Top Road Racers who were competing in the Fastest Road Race and in the World.
