What a weekend!!

The weather certainly turned it on over the two days.

Saturday was scorching on and off track temperatures 🔥 and Sunday was rain 🌨 wind 🌪and hail 🌀 just to make things interesting 😀

We welcomed back Bird and Toth which always makes for great racing.

End result was Phil Ashlin, Toth and Viney taking out the weekend. Well done guys 👏

Thanks Ashlin Motorsport . Here is the program for this weekend for the last TCRC Round.

Phil Ashlin starts the meeting 85 points ahead of Viney and Nev follows behind Viney by 4 points.

Points are up for 5 races and qualy this weekend so it really could come down to the wire.

The Laurie Kelly Memorial Handicap will be a great one to watch on Sunday. We all love a handicap race to make things interesting and thanks to American V Twin Motorcycles for sponsoring the handicap race.

So get yourself along to Baskerville Raceway for the last round of the TCRC
