I think you will find that is the cars, not bikes
Barbon Bikes or 'Percy Duff' is usually mid to end of July
Ferkin hope so anyway as I haven't been sent an entry form yet and I usually do

I will be entering my TRX for this.
For the last 4 years I have finished building my entered bike the night before the event.....
this year I am going to try and get it finished at least a week before

not fancy entering ?

It really is a fun way to compete, very cheaply and Barbon only has 3 corners.
Get a day licence on the day but entries must be in around 4 weeks prior to event.
Its frustratingly brilliant racing against the clock and virtually every rider that crosses the line is shaking his head as he knows he lost at least half a second somewhere along the course. Average run is 30 secs and once you have done one you will be itching to get back on the line

And we expect some lovelypics of you, your bike, the competition, the circuit, the wimpy van . . . . . . . .

good luck Gix.
cheers

No thanks gix, will be coming down to watch i think tzx660 might be going aswell on his trx. This would be an ideal event for a meet.

Barbon is a great place although I have not been there for a few years.
Raced an Aprilia RS125 fitted with a KTM250MX engine last time.
It weighed about 90kg wet and made about 50bhp!!
It went well....
....but I didn't!!
Shame I'm not going this year on the TDM as it would have been good to meet up with some others!!
