Encouraging Early Rush on Pre-TT Classic Entries

(Christine Hartley)Race Secretary, George Peach said: āAlthough entries for the Blackfordās Pre-TT Classic Road Races donāt close until the end of February, it is an encouraging start to receive so many entries within the ļ¬rst ļ¬fteen days of entries being available.
āThe Classics have always been popular on the Billown Course since they were introduced in 1988 and they provide some excellent, close racing not for the feint-hearted and we look forward to seeing a full Paddock once again this year, as seems likely from the initial response.ā
Classes catered for this year are like the successful format of previous years, 500cc; 350cc, 250cc; 350cc & 250cc Single Cylinder; Junior Superbikes; Senior Superbikes, Unlimited 1100cc and the ever-popular Sidecars The 125cc Post Classic Class added two years ago has been retained for a third year, hoping there will be an increase on the 2022 and 2023 numbers.
Race Promoters, Southern 100 Racing would respectfully remind would be competitors that entries for the Blackfordās Pre-TT Classic Road Races close earlier than previous years on THURSDAY 29th FEBRUARY 2024.
