The British Motorcycle Federation and Auto Cycle Union in conjunction with The Mid Cornwall Premier Motorcycle Club will be hosting the Opening Two rounds of the 2012 British Track Racing series. The 19th and 20th May will see the Track Racing Championship return to the East of England Showground at Peterborough. With 20 pairings all aiming to make a solid start to the new season it is sure to be a great event. With reigning Champions Mark Cossar and Carl Blyth facing plenty of pressure from matt Tyrrell and Mark Courtney and many others.
Besides the opportunity to watch some first class track racing, all ACU members benefit from a special ticket deal negotiated with show organisers The Mulberry Group and this means they have access to all of the ancillary daytime activities at the May show and the Tailend show including the world famous White Helmets display, the BMF’s own Moped Enduro racing (affectionately known as the Moped Mayhem!) and of course the hundreds of trade and club stands who will also be on site.
At the Tailend show there will also be the staging of a new European Stunt Show championship with 34 of the top riders in Europe competing and the event will be covered by Motors T.V.
For those who prefer to camp and make a weekend of it the offer is even better...
Campers can gain access to the site from 14.00 on Friday 18th May (Friday 14th September for Tailend) and enjoy live bands on both Friday and Saturday evenings.
Another new innovation for 2012 includes a Blues, Booze & Bikers area which as the name would suggests offers Blues music together with 20 real ales and 4 real ciders to choose from and this is in addition to the main hall entertainment with great headline cover bands including Limehouse Lizzy, the ZZ Tops and Dr & The Medics to name but a few, so plenty of choice for every taste!
Mulberry’s Managing Director Martin Chick, told us “Since we started working with the BMF in 2010, we’ve tried to understand what makes a great show and what show attendees want and the overwhelming feed-back we’ve received indicates that people want motorcycles, motorcycle related products, daytime entertainment, (preferably motorcycle related), good music and reasonably priced food and drink – cheap entry tickets and oh yes, good weather also helps!”
The BMF Show in May is Europe’s largest outdoor show and is attracting crowds in excess of 42,000 over the weekend with over 3,500 choosing to camp for the entire weekend.
The SPECIAL ACU ticket offer is:
