This was a great race last year, from a great race HQ with easy parking to a lovely fast course and super facilities afterwards to enjoy a fine spread of refreshments.....even the weather was kind on the day, one of the best races on the Wexford circuit

The limit is 350 at the moment but we will be able to add a few to this. The way things are going we should hit the 350 before the 12th. We're hoping that anyone who wants to run will run.
