ENTRIES for Molly’s Bar and Restaurant Moto3 GP 125 Lightweight Race have exceeded expectations with some 25 riders entering with only four newcomers according to the Armoy Motorcycling Road Racing Club.
The entry list sees the majority of racers coming from Northern Ireland, with several from England, Dan Sayle from the Isle of Man and there is a couple from the RoI which include Derek McGee from Mullingar and Sean Leonard from Donabate. There are also two female road racers with Sarah Boyes from Ballymena and Melissa Kennedy from Enniskillen taking part.
With Derek McGee and Sam Wilson from Cullybackey racing under Joey’s Bar Racing Honda, Gary Dunlop racing under William Dunlop Racing Honda and Paul Robinson and Sam Dunlop racing under CB Racing Aprilia and Glover/MSC Racing Honda respectively, it certainly will be exciting to see who will be on the podium.
Bill Kennedy, Clerk of the Course, Armoy Road Races, said, “The 125cc race is where many of our top racers started out. It’s great to see so many entries as it is important to encourage sport at these levels.
“Although there are a few less riders for the 250cc it is fundamental that these two races allow the best and brightest of road racing’s future to race on our 3.03 mile circuit.”
“It’s also great to see local sponsor, Molly’s Bar and Restaurant, and proprietors Sammy and Shelly Mullan, return to sponsor this race for the second year in a row,” continued Bill Kennedy. “It’s rewarding to see the local businesses and communities getting behind us year on year as we continue to grow.”
The event is part funded by Tourism Northern Ireland and Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council. Bike Week runs from Sunday 24th July until Saturday 30th July 2016 with the SGS International ‘Race of Legends’ featuring on the Saturday 30th July 2016.
