This is on Behalf of RJ Woolsey Clerk of The Course, Tandragee 100

This year we will be having a Forgotton Era race, we had planned to cap the cc to 350, and run with classics, however that will not be happening as this request was not brought up at the Inter-centre Conference meeting.
so they have been passed to run with 125/400s, however if we get 25 to 53 entries we will give you your own race………those who are interested should focus on the regs below, also, make sure and go to the last flag seminar, and experienced ex racers will also have to do any short circuit events b4 you apply for your road race licence, or a track day which i can organise no problem, it would be great to see a few oldies out again, and lift the sport further.
With regards this year’s PARADE LAP it is requested by MCUI(UC) that all paraders MUST have at least a road bike licence before entering, or an MCUI road racing licence………..so get on the ball now everyone, & be ready come May time. Forgotton Era Regs below……….(same as UGP a few years ago) SPREAD THE WORD because this class at road racing has been offered before, but didn’t materialize. ARMOY are also showing interest in this class, they will probably look at what happens at the Tandragee 100 to see if its worth their while……REGS BELOW:
