The Armoy Motorcycle Road Racing Club has announced that there will be a Two-Stroke Man of the Meeting award at the Armoy Road Races sponsored by RiverRidge Recycling this year.
The Bayview Hotel Moto3 GP 125cc and Solitude Motors and JW Hickinson & Sons 250cc race has seen 40 entries to date with some 33 competitors racing in both races.
Ann Louden, Race Secretary and her husband Peter, Assistant Clerk of the Course, are two people in the club that have been instrumental in donating monies for this award in addition to presenting a perpetual trophy.
“It was after a conversation with Paul Robinson who is renowned for riding the two strokes,” Ann explained.
“A lively discussion had ensued about the 125cc and 250cc races and how important it is to encourage the sport at these levels.
“We were in agreement about this fact and that the Bayview Hotel Moto3 GP 125cc and Solitude Motors and JW Hickinson & Sons 250 cc races were two great races but it was a case of if you believe it then do something about it!
“Peter and I have been associated with the club since its inception and as Race Secretary and Assistant Clerk of the Course there are all sorts to be pulling together and these last few months have been exceedingly busy and I can honestly say we wouldn’t have it any other way.”
Meanwhile, Rob Vernon has donated a Lee Vernon trophy for the best female competitor in the 125cc class – there are two females competitors in the class this year.
