ACU Rally Challenge

[Mudfacetony]

Now is your chance to roll out the CRM and get a season of rallys in! The guys running the Big Bike Rally Challenge/UK Rally Challenge have agreed with the ACU to run the ACU All Terrain Rally Challenge 2013. There are two Trail classes, one above 250cc and and below 250cc (or should that be one above 250cc and the CRM class). In 2014 it goes to British Championship status.


ACU All Terrain Rally Challenge 2013


The Big Bike Rally Challenge is set to move on and become bigger in 2013 with ACU backing as a "Challenge" in 2013 and a full blown "Championship" in 2014.

At last we can have a British Rally Champion and hopefully be able to give riders more visibility for international events.

The number of classes for bikes has increased but we still have the "Big Bike" classes.

It has taken Moly and myself over a year to achieve this, and although the name doesn't roll off the tongue, it does work for the Forestry and helps us keep rallying motorcycles in the UK.

We look forward to a great season for 2013 and a big thank you to all of you that helped us in 2012.



The new classes for the ACU All Terrain Rally Challenge 2013 are:-

BIG BIKE MULTI - over 575cc multi-cylinder bikes
BIG BIKE SINGLE - over 575cc single bikes and over 450cc Rally Specs bikes with full fairing and able to carry over 18 litres of fuel

that was me probably at 1 min 43 secs

I do have a bit of mud in "my" track - but must admit i been avoiding recently... ( no hose pipe at home.. and garages here refuse to let you wash motorbikes ( actually they refuse to let u do anything - but if you have a car they will wash it for you for a fee )

those road "restrictions" almost got him at one point..

I'm going to be on public wifi at that time - DOH

So as a precaustion I've entered the Kielder in June Looks like a good fun event too.

Will have a good go at getting into the Ryedale as well though, good luck with yours Tony and anyone else who's entering.
