Passion and lots of horse power!
That’s what organisers of a new ultimate performance car and bike event – Race the Rock - are promising.
Straightliners will run the event at Jurby Airfield over four days from April 7th.
Founder Trevor Duckworth said: “We have teamed up with the Jurby Motor Museum to stage this event and we hope to make Race the Rock an annual attraction to the Isle of Man for motorsports fans.
“We are also expecting to attract many motorsport fans and competitors from the UK and Ireland – in fact we already have some interest from some of the top car clubs in the UK.”
Drag cars and bikes will take to the recently resurfaced strip and revamped venue with organisers promising it can be as competitive or free and easy as drivers want.
The proposed line up is as follows:
Saturday, April 7th: Drag racing – all vehicles welcome
Sunday, April 8th: Drag racing and show - all vehicles welcome. Followed by a performance from the Purple Helmets
Monday, April 9th: Track day at Jurby Airfield with individual timed laps – cars only
Tuesday, April 10th: Side by side top speed runs over the 1/2 mile Jurby Airfield main runway - cars and bikes. Followed by an evening prize presentation.
