Killalane Road Races 2016 CANCELLED

Nodster

Sad news if your a follower of the Roads, the Loughshinny Club have regrettably decided to cancel this years event due to 'politics' between the ruling body for the Sport (Motorcycling Ireland) and the Loughshinny Motorcycle Supporters Club.

"Loughshinny Motor Cycle Supporters Club Ltd, held and open meeting last Tuesday 2nd August to discuss the future of the Killalane Road Races.
The club have come to the sad decision because of a breakdown in relations with Motor Cycling Ireland not to run our Killalane Road Race.
We are very upset to be put in this untenable position, but we feel there is no option but to cancel the event.
This problem has been ongoing all year, and while we have strived to keep road racing going by organising two events each year, it is impossible for the club and its members to work under these conditions.
We would like to apologise to all riders and race fans, and especially our long term sponsors, who have agreed with our decision."

That's a pity, a lot of people volunteer their time to make these events go ahead. Shame they couldn't have come to an agreement.

Some interesting developments in the past 24 hours - Strong possibility the meeting will go ahead under 'new management'
