Youths
The winning team will be the team which completes the most full laps of the track in approx 2 hours. Time of race will be dependent on entries but will be within 2 hours to 2 hours and 20 minutes. Teams will be made up on the day and the club will endeavour to make sure each team is equal. There is no need to come up with a partner as the club will sort out the teams. There will be two or three riders on each team (dependant on entries) and one transponder* will be needed for each team. The same format as the adults will be used with riders swapping transponders between team members. The transponder will be used like a baton is used in an athletics relay race. This event is open to 65cc, 85cc and youth 125/250cc riders. The winning team will get the Martin Finnegan Perpetual Trophy for the year plus a trophy each.
