Classic Racer

CRMC CADWELL PARK

The weather played ball and the end result was that the Classic Racing Motorcycle Club (CRMC) enjoyed a wonderful weekend of racing over July 3/4.

Thank goodness we’re finally going racing again: this time, the CRMC circus heads to the legendary curves and swoops of Lincolnshi­re’s Cadwell Park.

Despite every weather agency in the country predicting heavy rain showers, Cadwell Park bathed in sunshine for much of this mouthwater­ing race weekend. This meant that – for both competitor­s and the strong turnout of spectators – both could enjoy two days of close racing under near ideal conditions.

months meant that the grids were packed with competitor­s from far and wide and it was particular­ly gratifying to see such a big turnout in the sidecar class.

The 38-race programme catered for 125cc to 1300cc classic and post classic bikes including production, specials and Grand Prix machinery with four races for every CRMC

Yet just a couple of minutes later they were heads down and going hard at it for the win, finishing in the same order as shown.
