MiniMoto Racing Association of Great Britain

The MMRA in association with Spectrum Ltd (Southport) are offering £50 worth of Sealy tools to the winner of each MMRA class at both Whilton Mill and Lydd... gotta be in it for a chance to win it! Spectrum Ltd (Southport) are suppliers of automotive paint, body panels/parts, tools and garage equipment/consumables. You can find them at 9-15 Ashley Rd, Southport, Merseyside, PR9 0RB... or give them a call on 01704538120 and mention you're an MMRA member, and I'm sure they'll give you a great price on whatever you need. You can also get hold of them via Timebomb Racing (the big yellow and blue truck - just ask for Gordon - Jnr or Snr!)

Sorry for lack of info re: Rd8!

It would appear we all got slightly too relaxed in the long 6 week gap... apologies from the Committee to all members for lack of updates... normal service has been resumed!

Rd9 - Llandow - SATURDAY 25th and SUNDAY 26th AUGUST

It's here - the last round of the season... For some their class' champions have already been decided, but for others it's still damn tight at the top.

The Funbike class is a close scrap between Stephan Castille and Michael Corduroy with just 58 points between them... The Pitbike classes are even closer! The F1 sidecars have a grand 87 points between 1st and 5th place holders, so the top 3 could be any of them... Just 15 points (or should that be pints?) separates class leader Mick Williams from 2nd place runner Gordon Martlew, with Mike Mantell & Tamzine Hanks snapping at their heels from a tied 3rd place.

It's all to play for in the little leagues between Harry Coomber and Josh Daley in the Jnr Proddy B class, whilst the Snr Proddy A boys are nudging shoulders at the front of the runnings... Luke Shelley is clinging to the lead by the skin of his teeth with just 2 points over Gareth Williams.

With equally close battles in many of the remaining classes, Round 9 at Llandow looks certain to be an entertaining end to the season.

There MAY be a practice day on the Friday. Check the Forums for any update / confirmation of this.

Saturday kicks off as per normal with Rider's Briefing around 9am... 1x 10min Practice, 2x 15min Qualifiers (unless you're a sidecar, in which case it's 2x 10min practices, 2x 10min qualifiers).
