By Team TMX on 23rd Sep 15
ONLINE entry with special early bird offers for the eager to take advantage of is now available to riders looking to test their beach racing skills on the superfine, quick drying sands of the spectacular East Coast resort.
The Skegness beach race is now entering its sixth year, already growing into one the largest off-road events in the UK attracting crowds well in excess of 20,000 people over a single weekend. 2014 saw record entries for the AMCA which has seen entry levels increase year on year since it's 2010.
The event planning has commenced and entries are now being taken. With East Lindsey District Council supporting the event and the team in place, everyone is raring to go!
The whole circuit will again be a tough yet enjoyable track with some challenging sections. With an even longer circuit planned, heading further down the beach with multiple loops, the lap time should be increased, providing even more entertainment for both the rider and the spectators. Spectating is still completely free of charge, so don't miss out on some of the best spots for viewing including the pier!
The event is scheduled for November 7/8 with races for solos, and quads and sidecars races.
On-board this year for the second time will be Integro Doodson Broking Group who are sponsoring the Quad / Sidecar race, Integro Doodson BG are keen to contine their support of the Beach Race.
Entry fees include hard standing car parks and free camping for one vehicle, all within seconds of the beach and fantastic Skeggy nightlife, which will ensure a weekend to remember.
The preparations are already underway for the pre-event party at Meany Bo-Beany's bar which will be jammed full of riders itching to get on board their machines!
The winner will pick up £1,000, taken home by the likes of Milko Potisek, Nez Parker, Nathan Watson and Dan Thornhill in recent years.
Earth moving equipment, courtesy of LPE (Lincs Plant Hire) will be brought onto the beach during the week leading up to the event and a lengthy circuit built to include some impressive mounds, jumps, waves, whoops, chicanes and fast natural sandy straights.
The quicker you get booked in the better the gate pick you will have.
