THE village of Armoy is gearing up for this year\u2019s Armoy Road Races Bayview Hotel Race of Legends as it prepares for a weekend of world class road racing over the 28th<\/sup> and 29th<\/sup> July 2023.<\/h4>\n

On Wednesday afternoon, members from Armoy Motorcycling Road Racing Club (AMRRC) launched this year\u2019s event at the Bayview Hotel in Portballintrae.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Road racers, sponsors and invited guests including the new Mayor of the Causeway Coast and Glens, Cllr Steven Callaghan, had the opportunity to come together to mark the launch and countdown to the days to the races.<\/p>\n

Hosted by title sponsor, Trevor Kane, owner of the Bayview Hotel, guests heard from the Chairman and Clerk of the Course of AMRRC, William Munnis as he outlined the race schedule for 2023 and the club\u2019s relief that this year\u2019s meet was able to go ahead following the uncertainty that faced them earlier in the year regarding associated costs.<\/p>\n

Guests also had the opportunity to meet and greet some of this year\u2019s riders including local men Paul Jordan, riding for PreZ Racing, Adam McClean who continues his new 2023 partnership with JMcC Roofing and Neil Kernohan from Kernohan Racing.<\/p>\n

Following the launch, the Club\u2019s Chairman William Munnis said, \u201cPreparations are well under way for this year\u2019s Armoy Road Races.\u00a0 This is our fourteenth year of holding the event and we are indebted to all the riders and loyal fans who continue to support us each year.<\/p>\n

\u201cRace entries are due to close on Monday 26th<\/sup> June 2023 and in addition to the strong local entries we\u2019ve received, we also have riders from USA, France, England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and the Isle of Man.\u00a0 This year promises to be another exciting weekend of racing for all our fans and sponsors.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s launch gives us the opportunity to come together and thank our many sponsors as without their financial help and support we would not be able to stage the races.\u00a0 Trevor Kane from the Bayview Hotel has once again committed his support to the Armoy Road Races with his continued sponsorship of the Race of Legends.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur returning sponsors include Hilton Car Sales, James McKillop, Ian Hickinson, Steadplan Sales, MJF Builders, Diamond Bar and the Mermaid Club, Roadside Garages, Park Electrical Services, David Chambers from Brap Moto, Fay Stewart along with the Bayview Hotel.\u00a0 I\u2019m also delighted to see new sponsors, Causeway Geotech, EMA Building and Civils, Taggart\u2019s Barn, McNally&Co and Raymond Hodges and TT Racing join us and I\u2019m sure they will enjoy the race experience!\u201d<\/p>\n

In the lead up to the races, the Club hosts a popular Bike Week which runs from Sunday 23rd<\/sup> July until Saturday 29th<\/sup> July with all events listed on the club\u2019s Facebook and Twitter pages.
