wOW,,,,,,,, BRILLIANT,, 

Well done spotting that Drewpy, I am booked for the Saturday raceday (£85 for 2) and have persuaded the wife to come with the bribe of a hotel weekend away,  got some friends who live nearby as well, so going to make it a fun weekend away. Only thing is SWMBO will NOT go on the bike so taking the car, still that means if it pisses down we will have somewhere warm to sit..! See you all there.

trouble is, I'm back from week long scout camp on the 4th, might try and persuade the mrs to let me go on Sunday, only 3 hours away so doable

Gets my vote 

cancelled

This year’s much-lauded inaugural Welsh Road Races at Eppynt will not go ahead due to a change in the traffic laws, say organisers.

On the 9th of January this year, there was a hearing with regard to the repeal of the Road Traffic Act. The repeal was to allow the use of closed Public Roads for Motorsport events. This repeal came into effect yesterday, on the 2nd February.

The Welsh Road Race had gained permissions previously, but the current change in legislation, has put the... the timescale of the event into jeopardy, as there will not be enough time to obtain the correct permissions now to permit the event.

“We are working closely with the ACU, Crown Properties and Powys County Council to organise the Welsh Road Race, and under the new changes in legislation, the new deadlines that have been imposed, will make it very difficult to carry out a safe and successful event’, said Derek Smith, Managing Director of the Welsh Road Race.

“The Board of Directors are absolutely devastated, for all the supporters and all concerned with the event. We have began steps to contact all our supporters and sponsors who are involved in the event.”

I am so gutted this is cancelled, i live in Wales and this would have been a great event to take my son to.
