2024 - things got even better !
What a weekend!
Perfect weather gave us all a great opportunity to make the most of everything on offer at Sprint 2024.
From watching and listening to the amazing racing, checking out more than 200 exhibition bikes from Brough Superior to Barry Sheene Yamaha, dropping by the 23 club displays to doing deals at the 45 trade stands and all their products. There were stunt BMX and trials bikes pulling amazing tricks, axe throwing and a climbing tower to test your skills and fire-breathing demo runs from drag bikes and muscle bikes.
We introduced our live race times and info website which gave instant readouts and along with our big screen allowed competitors and visitors to stay completely in touch with results
The manic mopeds challenge helped raise over £1500 for our charities and many lucky winners got rides in the Back to the Future car, the Jaguar-engine trike and the Lotus sports car. And on a balmy Saturday evening the amphitheatre rocked to some great music whilst the street food, ales and gin cocktails all went down very well! And the dancing was a sight to behold!
All we have to do now is improve on that for next year – that’s a mighty challenge!
Lots of new attractions
