2022 Tandragee 100 Results :
2022 marks the 60th Anniversary of the Tandragee 100 event and it kicked off on Friday 29th April with the Practice and Qualifying Sessions.
Conditions were perfect, the track was perfect, the set up was perfect and the event ran perfectly – an absolute credit to the Tandragee 100 Team.
The only issue with the Friday session was that (I would imagine) a right few people went home with a little sunburn!
It was a superb lead up to race day.
The weather forecast for race day for the previous week predicted rain, and despite everyone’s hopes that the rain may not actually come, or may come later, or simply the hope that ‘Those long range forecasts are quite often wrong.’ – the weather forecast was in fact correct. The rain came and started just in time for the road closure and never let up.
Three races ran, between five red flags, and then the conditions both on the track and in the sky worsened and the meeting was abandoned.
A difficult decision for the Club, but without doubt the right one.
The most important thing is everyone gets home safely, so the right call was made.
Friday showed what road racing can be, (I suppose Saturday did too) – so if you are new to the sport hold on to that Friday Feeling!
A sad ending to the event for the Club, but they can rest easy knowing the hard work was done, what they could control they did so flawlessly and what they couldn’t – well, it is what it is.
And…there is always next year.
