KIA National Twinshock Championship getting right down to the wire
By John Dickinson on 19th Oct 18
There's KIA National Twinshock Championship action this Sunday courtesy of the Central Wales Auto Club who will run the penultimate round of the 2018 series at Cymblewyn, Powys, LD7 1NP.
As this was written entries stood in the high 80s with every chance of a three-figure starting line-up with all eight classes, four Expert, four Clubman, covered. Club stalwarts have been out over the last weeks clearing and digging out the 20 sections that will be lapped twice.
It is all looking good and the sections will be rider-friendly, so if you have been thinking of bagging an entry just do it as you are sure to enjoy this trial regardless of which bike or class you ride.
The KIA organisers have been stressing to clubs not to go over the top with the sections with an enjoyable day out the priority. Entries dont close until Saturday so get on with it!
