By Friday afternoon, positive Armoy Road Races news, revolving around present day racer, enthusiast Raymond Hodges, TT Racing (Lisa Ross), retaining title sponsorship of the 125/Moto 3 race expedition.
Last year, Dominic Herbertson, whom event organisers, are optimistic will return to the ‘Race of Legends’ next month, scored a dominant, decisive 125/Moto 3 race win, finishing 12.338 to the good over genial German rider Chris Meyer.
Nigel Moore wrapped up the rostrum finishers with Kyle Parkes, Robert O’Neill, Gareth Arnold, fourth, fifth, sixth.
Eighth place finisher, the previously spotlighted, Raymond Hodges, issued his reaction to continuing to support 125, Moto 3 racing at Armoy.
“With just weeks to go until this year’s event, it is great to be able to support the Moto 3/GP 125cc race again.
As a rider and as a sponsor, I have had the unique perspective of being involved with both sides of the event and they are equally as exciting.
The work that Armoy Motorcycling Road Racing Club (AMRRC) volunteers put into the organisation of the races cannot be over-estimated. I am really looking forward to the event and am counting down the days already!”
Gareth McAuley, AMRRC (Armoy Motorcycling Road Racing Club) Chairman, added:
“The Moto 3/GP 125 race is a fantastic class and the smell of burning two stroke oil for the traditionalists is a treat every year. We are incredibly grateful to Raymond and TT Racing for continuing their sponsorship.
Rider entries are currently open, and we are already receiving a good steady flow, so I would like to remind riders to get their entries in quickly if they have not already to ensure they are able to compete. I am sure it will prove to be another popular race in our busy two-day programme.”
