Meet racing stars in North Yorkshire

Added on Sunday, June 13th, 2010 by Carole Nash Editor | No Comments

MotoGP, WSB and TT fans in Yorkshire will get to brush shoulders with their heroes next week as Arai hosts a star-studded event at the North Yorkshire Road Racing Supporters Club (NYRRSC).

MotoGP star Colin Edwards, WSB sensation Jonathan Rea and TT riders Ian Hutchinson, Keith Amor and Gary Johnson will all be taking time out to meet the fans at the Club Amadeus, Northallerton, on Wednesday June 16.

Long-time WSB and BSB TV pundit Jack Burnicle will host the event and John Wakefield, MD of Phoenix Distribution, the UK Arai importer; will be taking questions from the audience on helmets and helmet safety. The Arai Race Service will be in attendance, and Arai wearers can have their helmets serviced and get advice on the night.

There will also be one limited edition drawing of Colin by artist Pete Hurst which will go up for auction on the night. The reserve price on this is £200 and can be signed by Colin Edwards on the night.

Up for auction will be a signed Arai RX-7GP Colin Edwards replica, along with other Arai prizes in the raffle. The event raises money to further the careers of local racers in the area, and Colin’s been before – back in 2006, when a riotous, fun and enlightening evening was had by all.

Doors open 7.00pm / Showtime 8.00pm.
Admission (on the door) is £8.00 (£5.00 for NYRRSC members.)
