Title: Ramsgate Sprint Revival - 2017 event cancelled Post by: Tony oily bike on November 26, 2016, 03:55:11 PM The Ramsgate Sprint Revival had its first running in 2015 to celebrate the Sprints from the 1950's and 60's, and although I couldn't make it, those I know who did gave it grand reviews.
http://ramsgatehistory.com/sprint.html The event couldn't run in 2016 (tho the organisers did run The Ramsgate Rev Up), but hopes were high for 2017, unfortunately, an announcement was made only yesterday https://www.facebook.com/RamsgateSprintRevival to say the 2017 event, and those in the foreseeable future, would not be taking place. :'( Such a shame.............. In years gone by there were may Speed events along seafronts (Southport/Blackpool, Weston Super Mare, Lewes, Ramsgate and of course Brighton to name but a few), with huge crowds attending. Nowadays its only the Brighton Speed Trials that remains, fortunately its still full-on competitive event. |
