The Sunday is the main event, The 3 hour beach race will be held at the Bu farm in Burray. It has been at this location since the race started in 1989 thanks to Billy and Erlend Dass. The track will be an interesting and technical track made to the usual standards and about 2 ½ miles long

The people coming, come from all over the UK, like Alan Reid who has done every year except last year and is back again this year, his first year on a Husky 250. By all accounts he was a good social rider!! I wonder if he is using the Husky again this year. Another rider who has done almost every year is current Scottish twinshock champion Paul Chiappa, Maybe the old Maico is getting used. Remember a four stroke has not won a beach race yet, is this the year?

Last year’s winner was Ricky Mair and rumour has it he is coming back again this year. Other riders include John Soutar and Barry Gray.

The Orkney boys will be there too, David Henning (the current Orkney champion) was the highest placed Orkney lad in 5^th place last year but he has major competition this year with Mark Garson, Stuart Craigie, Graham Thomson, Roy Watt, Dean Macleod and Erlend Dass. David has to work hard this year! Also their first year in the adult class is the first 3 places from the senior school boys last year. Fraser Norrie, winner of the senior school boys beach race last year, Local lad Danny Milne and William Mackenzie (not Billy) from Caithness. Also local lad John Marshall who finished 5^th overall in this year’s Scottish Senior Schoolboy Championship. There may be some upsets this year???

 

 

Sadly Jacky Reid passed away this year. His family and friends are putting up a trophy for one of the classes.

 

 

On Sunday night there is a buffet dinner and presentation of trophies… make sure you have your tickets….7.30pm start.
