This year the Sunflower Trophy Race and Superbike classes include the Relentless by TAS Suzuki Team of Michael Laverty and on a superbike Ian Lowry together with possibly one other.  The Paul Bird Vent Axia World Superbike Team of Chris Walker and Greg Laville, the North West 200 Ducati Team with Michael Rutter and on a full blown superbike his team mate, John Laverty. The class includes entries from our own top men, including Denver Robb, Michael Pearson, Alastair Seeley, Marshall Neill to name but a few. The class really is bristling with the cream of Irish talent and with our visitors, will be reminiscent of the Sunflowers of yesteryear with further international interest from Mat Nilsson (Sweden) and Agoston Rosivall (Hungary).

The Mini Twins (400cc class) is infact oversubscribed and includes leading talent such as Wayne Kirwin, Lee Hill, Darren Gilpin etc. This will prove to be another exciting encounter.

The 600cc class reads like a who’s who of this highly competitive class and includes Ian Lowry, Alister Kirk, Alastair Seeley, Lee Johnston & Nikki Coates etc.
