After too much news last year focusing on clubs that couldn’t survive or were really struggling to it is great to have the potential to be adding another event to the road Racing Calendar!

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…
Read on for the Results :
The only twitter account linked to this blog will be @TomBoyNI
The reason for this is mainly time constraints.
Whilst at the races I am too focused on photography (and enjoying the event – without having my head stuck in a phone). When this gets coupled with Marshaling I simply do not have the time to keep the information flowing in such a way that ensures accuracy and consistency through every meeting.
When I consider the information flow already out there, such as live streaming, live radio, online coverage and other exceptional twitter feeds – both independent and the official event feeds – I do not see the need for another account tweeting the same information fighting for a share of an already packed medium.
I will be retaining the RoadRacingLive.co.uk domain and it will continue to point to this blog.
I will also continue to keep the results flowing, which will be updated at the conclusion of the session / event. Details will be posted here and notified through Twitter and Facebook.
I am not done with Twitter either – the @TomBoyNI account will live tweet from events, but will not be dedicated to blow by blow coverage. It will also tweet about everything else, so definitely worth a follow even if I do say so myself.
If you were one of my followers thank you for your support and please feel free to follow @TomBoyNI
There’s no secret – an awful lot of this site is focused on motorcycling and road racing. Especially during the racing season.
For this reason @RoadRacingLive has been born. This will be the tbni.blog dedicated Twitter feed for all things Motorcycle Road Racing related.
It will be coming just in time for the 2018 season so Follow it now and be sure not to miss a thing!
The RoadRacingLive.co.uk address will simply continue to link to the main blog.
