Formula 80/125’s - This is where the youngsters start. All keen teenagers, eager to impress and have no fear.
125 GP - Close racing at it’s best. Real race bread Grand Prix machines that need riding on the limit.
250 Fourstroke - A new class that will ultimately replace the 125’s... it is a British and World level championship in 2012.
400cc - A mix of 250cc GP two strokes and highly tuned 400 four strokes. Different tracks suit different bikes.
600cc - Historically the toughest class to win. All on race prepared road bikes, which are ridden to their limit.
Powerbikes - Big 1000cc superbikes mean fast lap times. Whoever can best tame the 180bhp will come out on top.
Formula 400 - Highly modified 400cc road bikes. High revving, and all very evenly matched.
GP45 - 450cc Singles and Twins with high spec race chassis and suspension…. The future of racing.
Streetstocks - Street legal bikes on the track. Out-of-the-crate machines and all on the same control tyres too.
Sound of Thunder - Big booming twins and high revving triples. Very different bikes….very close racing.
Mini Twins - Very popular class. A less expensive way to get on track….but no less action !
Pre-Injection - A chance to see to race bikes of the 1990’s and early 2000’s….. always entertaining.
Sidecars - High-speed purpose built 3-wheelers, that never fail to provide great racing and a few thrills and spills.

Will be there.

Look out for Payner in Sound of Thunder on RSV number 113.

Ooh! Anyone thinking of going up?

Mmmmm ;)

This sounds interesting. Talk me into it.

How are people planing to get there, riding (my preference)? Driving? When would we leave? Oooo questions questions..

I could be up for this, not seen any club racing for a long time.

I think riding up is gonna be weather dependant...I dont mind driving

Never been to Thruxton ~ could be a cracking day out!

Do you drive like you ride?



I'm still interested. I have just one problem. We were due to see my sister-in-law in Uttoxeter for her birthday on Saturday but at the moment she has had to cancel. If for any reason she decides to change her mind again we'll have to go, no wriggling outta that one!

Apart from that I'd like to go.

Yeah mate, like an ANGEL

ok, lets see how the week goes, but I'm up for it

Yep, I hear that.

I'll keep an eye here and you have my number.

Might be worth a trip that

I'm hoping for dry riding weather as I will have a new bike arriving on Thursday that I need to run-in before the winter

Ooooooooo, tell us more.

Gonna be working!

Well I have really splashed out and treated myself

I had a bit of a bust-up with my business partner recently - it has been a horrible year - but the up-side was that I walked away with some cash last month so I have bought my dream bike

Ah the old business partner thing. I had similar trouble a 6 years back with the guy I set up this business with, I'd known him and had been friends with him for years, he turned out to be a unreliable theiving shit bag!

Onward and upward Dave, I'm still here and so is ESS Property Services. Good luck.

Keep us posted with your plans for the weekend.
