I look forward to hearing the proposed route. From what I heard it's on a 4.2 mile circuit based on the unofficial Kennedy/Robinson/Dunlop practice sessions from the 1970's.

As far as i know the course is left hand in,starting from the rugby club on the Drones rd into Armoy from B`mena it will run down past where frank kennedys old garage is and into Armoy where it will turn left just before the church onto the Gracehill rd.It will then run out that road to the junction with the Bregagh rd where it will turn left again onto the Bregagh rd.Straight all the way along that road to the end where it will turn left again which will bring it back onto the Drones rd,back down past Lime park and onto the start/finish again.
Did a few laps last week and its pretty fast and the start of the Bregagh rd is a bit like the roller coaster at the Temple,also it goes through some guys farm yard!,check it out,but apart from that the other roads are pretty smmoth and looks like it would throw up some good racing.

HOW COOL IS THAT??!???!???!!!

I have just watched The Roadracers documentary (what a great film!) and it would be a great thing if the races at Armoy would go through by 2009. It is going to be a nostalgia if the course will be at the former Armada testing grounds.

Cheers to those whoever though of organizing the races in Armoy!!!
