Northwich Thundersprint this weekend!

http://www.thundersprint.com/

The main event takes place on Sunday 7th May although there will be a number of manufacturers showing off their bikes on the Saturday, along with some trade stalls. Sunday consists of a cavalcade of bikes through the streets of Northwich and the Thundersprint itself. The Thundersprint is basically a series of short sprint races around quite a technical, tight course. This gives people the chance to see the machines, mostly race bikes, in all their glory. There are races throughout the day which take place on a makeshift circuit constructed on the M&S carpark. There is even an aerobatic display performed by a Spitfire at around 13:20. Leon Haslam will be there, along with a number of other famous racers from past and present. It's a great way to get very close to machines which are normally kept away from Joe Public.



Best thing about the show is the fact that it is all completely free, including parking! All in all a great day to be had... Just hope the weather holds out.
