Three lap records gained by the Birchall brothers during this race – a simply outstanding achievement from 2 guys at the absolute top of their game!

And just to give it its proper place here is that 134 standing start lap from Dean Harrison – unfortunately for Dean his engine blew on him, but what an outstanding pace he was running!
Here are the full results from the 2018 Blackford’s Pre-TT Classic Road Races. Run at the Billown circuit just outside of Castletown the Pre-TT Races are an amazing way to start your TT experience. It is obviously a much smaller event than the full on TT, however it is an excellent couple of days racing. This year race day was moved from Monday to Sunday and personally I think this worked really well, giving visitors some great racing on the Sunday, which was normally an empty day. Classics, superbikes and sidecars this event has it all, and deserves more visitors – so if you are over make sure to check it out and show your support.

Saturday Race Day – the big day for the annual NW200 and what a day it was. The weather forecast had promised to be a scorcher and guess what – even for Northern Ireland it delivered!
Thursday’s racing had already been a massive success with no major incidents and all three races running their full distance with real world class racing on display. Saturday promised another 5 races but could it deliver on what Thursday had already given us?
Well the short answer is yes! The weather was glorious, a bit breezy, but all that really did was hide the sunburn! The racing was outstanding and with only one red flag on the first lap of the final race – of which those involved are fine.
Just want let everyone know I'm fine. I thought my engine seized but it seems I just hit a false neutral at an (1-3) pic.twitter.com/hxcgvQhZ1c

The standing of racing was fantastic and the (reported) crowds of 120,000 people loved it!
This all feels surreal. It's not meant to be sunny. It's not meant to run like clockwork. What is there to complain about? #NW200

Glen Irwin was dishing out the lessons on how to ride a superbike, taking 2 wins in the class, meaning he had 3 in a row at the NW200, remembering he took the 2017 Feature Race in fantastic style. Joey Thompson – a new crowd favourite missed out on taking a Supertwin win being piped at the final Juniper Hill Chicane, it was breath taking stuff and an amazing example of how good the NW200 can be if blessed with a little bit of good fortune and weather. Really well done to all those involved.
If you missed it the BBC still have the entire day available for viewing – but I don’t know how long it will be available for – find it here : https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/northern-ireland/43801720
And let’s not forget Jonathan Rea popped along for a private lap, evening stopping to say hello a few times!
Check out my full gallery of all the action from the day’s racing here : https://tbni.blog/2018/06/04/2018-vauxhall-international-north-west-200-saturday-race-day-gallery-saturday-19th-may-2018/
Without further delay here are the results of an amazing day’s racing at Northern Ireland’s North Coast :
Thursday Race night at the 2018 International North West 200 wasn’t far away from perfect, with only one 30 minute delay, due to a oil spill, there were no other incidents to report, no other race delays, no red flags and a little bit of hazy cloud meant the lowering sun didn’t effect the racing as in previous years.
The result was a full night’s racing, with all 3 races running the distance.

The results of which follow below :
After a rather miserable Tuesday session thanks to the Northern Irish weather (which to be fair can be much worse) Thursday’s session was – sun kissed. Glorious uninterrupted sunshine showered the North Coast in all it’s glory and gave the riders and teams a good chance to get some qualifying times on the board and get tweaking before the racing started on Thursday evening and then in to Saturday Race Day.
The Clerk of the Course even tried to get a double superbike session in after Tuesday’s session being cut so short, however like all best laid plans all you need is an oil spill to ruin them.
However a good session led us into Thursday night…
Read on for a full detailed listing of Thursday’s Qualifying Session Results :
@northwest200 #nw200 Tuesday Practice Summary: Superbikes got 3 laps, superstocks got 4. A few ? and Supertwins got out. One rider airlifted to the Royal (??) and a few 30 minute delays for ? . Glenn Irwin was cross and Hutchy wasn’t much happier. Roads opened 15 mins early?

I generally see the Tuesday session as more of a warmup than an actual qualifying session. The results you are seeing here will in no way reflect what we see on Thursday and Saturday, today’s timings are even more hampered by the greasy track from the on off rain. It is what it is, but here are the results from today’s Qualifying (“warmup”) sessions…
Here are all the times, all the splits, all the categories and all the results from the 2018 Around A Pound Tandragee 100 Race Day.
A full gallery of images from the day’s action is still to follow, but honestly it was a glorious day with what can only be described as an epic Tandragee 100 Feature Race. I won’t spoil the result – just keep scrolling to see it, but know this, we got a new lap record from the winner at 2:55:11s!

Otherwise here is a quick reference to all the races as they happened :
Sunday 10th September 2017 : Race Day for the first ever East Coast Racing Festival and we have all the results right here for you before the tents are even folded away.
Unfortunately some grim rain and winds brought an early end to proceedings, but we got seven races completed and a great days racing. Looking forward to next year…
