Thundering success at Thundersprint

The weather couldn’t have been kinder for the thousands of visitors at this years Thundersprint. It really is quite a unique event amongst motorcycle meetings. The sight of classic racing machines  and smell of red hot engines and oil in the paddock is something you cant picture unless you experienced the day. Knutsford Honda, the main Thundersprint event sponsor invited Federation club members to attend the meeting and spend the day parked up on their main Honda stand, right smack in the middle of the action. If it wasn’t a free event this spot would be prime ticket territory.  The Thundersprint race takes place around a car park area and lasts most of the day with qualifying and practise sessions taking place. Its very well organised and a credit to those who run the event every year. 

The town of Northwich takes full advantage of the thousands of visitors with most of the coffee shops and food stores being open for the Sunday meeting, plus there were plenty of food stalls throughout the town centre providing the necessary burger & chip’s fix.  The Goldwings attracted a lot of attention, as they always do, being positioned right at the entry lane to the race track we got to see all of the race machines coming to and from the paddock, we couldn’t have asked for more. We even had a few Goldwing owners expressing an interest in joining one of the affiliated clubs and the Blackpool Illuminations Goldwing Light Parade.    We thank Knutsford Honda for their continued support and hope we get a similar invite to next years event.
