Thundersprint organisers Frank and Carol Melling announced that this iconic event will not take place in 2015.

Frank Melling said: “It’s well known that we have had two disastrously bad years with the weather in 2013 and 2014. The 55mm of rain we had over two days this year at Darley Moor hit spectator attendance very badly. In the simplest possible terms, we just cannot take a chance on a third year of hostile weather.

“The problem we, and many other organisers, face is that the cost of promoting a big, complex event like the Thundersprint rises every year. Circuit owners want their income guaranteeing regardless of ticket sales. There is nothing wrong with this policy but it means that all the pressure is on the event organiser to cover costs and, hopefully, make a profit. We have talked extensively to a number of venues but there are none available which make economic sense. In the final analysis, we are a two person business and we can’t continue to risk what we have built up over the last seventeen years on the bet that we will have good weather in 2015.

“The Thundersprint is very much alive and well and Carol and I remain as enthusiastic as ever for the future – if and when the event can make economic sense. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all competitors, traders and spectators for their fantastic support and we hope that they we will all continue to remain the good friends that they are now.”

Meet the special edition Triumph Thruxton Ace which was revealed last weekend at the Ace Cafe London in front of thousands of café racer fans!

The Thruxton Ace celebrates it's classic racer heritage with a one-off Pure White and Jet Black paint livery paired with tasteful Ace Cafe logos reflecting Triumph’s long historical connection with the legendary café on London's North Circular.

With a sculpted oxblood custom seat, detachable pillion seat hump and authentic bar end mirrors, the Thruxton Ace truly is a special edition - the bike also features a unique handlebar plaque to commemorate just that. The Thruxton Ace maintains the Triumph Thruxton’s iconic parallel twin, which produces 69PS and 69Nm of torque across a broad rev range.

The bike also has the looks to go with its purpose with a classic 60’s café racer stripe running along the tank to complement the already spectacular silhouette of the Triumph Thruxton.

Only 100 will be available in the UK with the bike landing in dealers in December. The price will be confirmed nearer the time - click here to find and contact your nearest dealer.

Be quick - these won't be around for long!

FOR THE RIDE

CFS Motor Racing (Promotions) is running as a totally non-profit making venture, aiming to give Craig Cook, our current British Number 2 to the World Champion, equipment for 2015 to take him towards World Champion status and the International/GP circuit.

They believe Craig has the potential to compete on the GP circuit and become a future World Champion.

Did you know, speedway riders receive no salary, no starting fee generally and earn by the points they score in racing... Only the top riders, sponsored say by Monster or other major sponsors, may get larger fees!

The aim is to sell 2,000 tickets for each brand new Quad bike at just £10 each. Profits go directly to helping purchase equipment required for each country in which Craig will ride. This Quad is 100% road legal and can be used on a full British car licence (DVLA registration required).

Buy 3 tickets and get the 4th free, giving you approx. a 1 in 500 chance of winning.

Call: 02392 570447 or 02392 595505 or 07989 535829 or e-mail: [email protected] NOW for tickets
