Hello and welcome to what we hope will be a good weekend’s racing and a bit of fun on and off the track!

A reminder of how our track runs (CLICK HERE for New clubhouse video) or (CLICK HERE for Old clubhouse video) – but I think the layout will be a little different!! for this event – thanks for fantastic videos Greg.

Astro Masters timetable

(We will be running – format depends on numbers but at minimum Open Practice Saturday morning with Heats pm and more Heats & Finals Sunday – BBQ Saturday eve.)

Limited Camping On-Site with facilities so let me know so I can plan pitches!!

Don’t forget to download your entry forms as soon as they are posted (watch this space) and you can pay on-line (thanks to those who have already done this – great to see the enthusiasm building).   Read below for more details and keep an eye on this web site and the Facebook page as this is just a quick preview of what’s to come.

Thanks for all the interest and due to popular demand (lots of lads working on Saturday) then you can race Sunday only but we need to know that in advance for marshall planning on Saturday?  

This is a 2 day event so plan your weekend around it – check out the accommodation around Navan from our web site.
