Welcome to NG Roadracing 2020
Over the last few years our club has grown from
its original roots on Airfield circuits to become second to none in this
country with our range of circuits, venues and entries. This is complimented by
our vastly experienced Marshalling & Technical team. Whether you follow us to most/all venues or
contribute invaluable local knowledge when we visit your favourite circuit, we
are proud to have you as part of our “show” - Without your assistance there
would be no racing!!!
**** We visit Seven of the country’s top venues in
2020 ****
PEMBREY Our 2020 season kicks off at this venue which always
provides great racing, Look out for some special
feature races. As usual on Saturday evening we will provide you with an evening
meal and a “free drink” at this venue.
OULTON PARK One of the hardest circuits to learn, Oulton is
vastly popular among our racers, who annually have to “mix it” with the local
Oulton “specialists” and the odd BSB contender. always
a great day.
DONINGTON PARK Already vastly popular with racers and spectators,
this world famous circuit now has new lease holders, who have made many very
welcome improvements to facilities at this venue. As you will notice from our
Calendar we are racing on the Friday and Saturday this year. Friday being a Bank
Holiday
SNETTERTON 200 Since our return here a couple of seasons ago, Snett’
has already become a firm favourite in our calendar.
CADWELL PARK With its unique features this spectacular circuit has
become very popular with
the NG faithful.
ANGLESEY, Is arguably one of the best rider circuits in the
country, and set right on the North West coast of Wales, it is certainly the
most picturesque! Come and join us for this event at Britain’s own “Philip
Island”. Great excuse for a long summer weekend off work!
CASTLE COMBE This
is by far the biggest “Club” event in the country. In 2019 the crowds and races
were second only to the British Superbike series. In 2020 it is sure to be one of
the highlights of our season. In 2020 this is the only two wheel racing event
at Combe! Definitely not one to be missed!
OTHER NEWS
In 2020 we continue to offer our racing members
all of their favourite classes.
In addition to all of our NG Championship
classes, we will continue to host the Desmo Due
Ducati, Formula Pro-Stock and Suzuki Bandit Championships.
Also look
out for rounds of other Championships cropping up as Guest classes at various of
our events throughout the season, Including confirmed rounds of the -
·
ACU / FSRA F2 British Sidecar Championship
·
FSRA Post Classic Sidecar Championship
·
Lansdown Classic Championship

ACU 250gp and 125gp National Championships. We will also host the 2 Stroke GP Championships
at all of our rounds

VOLUNTEERING

many, or how few events you are able to volunteer for, you will always be made

ACU MARSHAL TRAINING 2020
Currently I am hoping
to hold the Training Day on Saturday 14 March at our Pembrey rider test
(practice) meeting,
This will open to all experienced Marshals who
have not attended a training day for 3 years or more, and to all those who are new
to Marshalling
TEST DAYS We are now holding test
days on the day prior to at all of our rounds (Donington still to be
confirmed) At Castle Combe we are
running Track Days on both the Thursday and the Friday.
I would like to thank
in advance anyone who is able to assist us on these Test/Track days we will
again be providing a breakfast, a cooked lunch or an evening meal, a snack pack
and a pint.
NEW MARSHALS ALWAYS NEEDED
As NG Roadracing
grows the need for more Marshals increases.
Many of us started our Marshalling careers by being introduced by a friend
already marshalling. So I ask you to look around and think if there are any
folk you could introduce to the sport.
They will be sure to thank you for it, once they too discover that marshalling
is what weekends were invented for.
Finally
Please complete your 2020 Availability Form and
return to me ASAP
Ensure your details are written clearly, especially your post code & email
address where available
As usual, your passes etc. will then be sent to you a week or so prior to the
date of each event you have volunteered for.
Please keep this letter safe as it contains all
of our dates. Contact me during the season with any changes to your
availability. I look forward to seeing you track side soon
How Do I Become A Road Race Marshal?
IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN TO A ROAD RACE MEETING OR SEEN ONE
ON TV YOU WILL HAVE SEEN THE MARSHALS, EITHER REMOVING FALLEN BIKES AND RIDERS
OR GIVING FLAG SIGNALS TO THOSE WHO ARE RACING.
WHO ARE THEY? –
All Marshals have one thing in common, their interest in motorcycle
racing, and they all want to be more involved than just a spectator
Apart from this shared interest they can and do come from all walks of life,
all ages over 18, and of course both sexes. (16 and over if accompanied)
HOW MUCH TIME DO THEY GIVE? –
A Marshal is
required to be on duty for the whole of practice and racing. They also attend a
training day every three years.
ADVANTAGES OF BEING A MARSHAL
· Working with like-minded people. Shared interest.
· Close involvement with the action.
· Free admission to meetings.
· Satisfaction of doing a job critical to making racing safer.
Marshals are vital. Race meetings cannot take place without them
.
HOW DO I BECOME A MARSHAL, AND WHAT WILL BE EXPECTED
OF ME? –
Organisers of race meetings are always happy to
welcome and train new Marshals, most people start Marshalling with
organisations such as ours that are local to where they live, and if they wish,
may go on to also Marshal at top British National and International events. It
is completely up to the individual as to how many meetings a year they attend.
The only commitment required is that they turn up to those meetings for which
they have volunteered.
Where ever you live, if you are interested in finding out
more contact me, (Nino) via email or telephone on
07803 933130.
