RDH Auctions Centre National Twinshock Championship

Registrations for the 2010 RDH Auctions sponsored National Twinshock Championships are up for the sixth year running, with over 120 in up to press. This is great news, so please keep them coming if you would like to keep your 2009 riding number, as the Telford Show on Feb 13-14 is after the January 31 cut off date when all the entry forms and numbers will be sent out. Last year over 300 riders registered so please be patient if others receive their confirmation and yours hasn’t arrived.

We will once again have a stand at Telford with all the latest news, so please pop along and join us for a chat or a coffee, and pick up the 2010 calendar of events.

I think we are going to be spoilt for choice in 2010, and my only fear is that some events may suffer. As well as the RDH series, there is the all new Circa 74, Dave Thorpe Evo series, Partridge Pre-83 125’s and Cumbria Twinshocks Veterans and Two Stroke series. Check out the updated calendar.

The RDH series kicks off at Polesworth on Easter Sunday April 4, with round two at Gale Common on April 18, then a trip down ‘sarf’ to Wrangway in Somerset now confirmed on May 2. The next two rounds at Lancashire and Bassenthwaite have still to be confirmed, but we will have more info at Telford.

CNR Burrows Haulage will once again be presenting the Rider of the Meeting awards, and all the class sponsors have stepped up to the plate again, so thanks to LPE, CI Sport / DEP Pipes, Wulfsport, MD Racing, Toughsheet Recycling, Falcon Shocks, Cheshire County Crossers and Motolink Yamaha.

For 2010 we have several new sponsors who will be sponsoring an individual round, and we currently have seven of the nine round series covered where they will be able to show you their wares. Thanks go to Demon Tweeks, DLE Construction, West Country Windings, Classic Dirt Bike, Jones & Father Ltd, Maico Only, and Halewood Tapes.

News is spreading of the newly named Wulfsport Top 20, with several new Experts joining the fray, with the top eight at each round overall taking home the bacon. To keep things interesting right up to the final round there will be awards for the top 15 at the end of the year, with demotion for some and promotion from the Inters to look forward to.

National Twinshock Scramble Championships 2010

The 2010 National Twinshock Championships will again be sponsored by Richard Wood of RDH Auctions for the third year, and Jon Burrows of CNR Burrows Transport will again be sponsoring the Rider of The Meeting awards at each round, both of which are really appreciated.

At the time of writing most of our class sponsors have committed to continue their support as well which is great news. We are also hoping to gain extra support from new sponsors for our re-branded Wulfsport Masters Class which will now be known as the Wulfsport Top 20 Experts. The idea is to keep all the riders in this class interested by having awards down to eighth place at each round and the top 15 overall at the end of the season, with promotion and relegation to and from the class as it’s a big step up for some riders.

Following last weeks AGM at the Awards Presentation evening a calendar of events has been drafted, and we have nine rounds pencilled in, including a
