The Mid Antrim 150 Club has postponed the Neil and Donny Robinson Memorial Trophy races in the summer due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
The Ulster Superbike event was scheduled to take place at Bishopscourt Racing Circuit from July 18-19.
On Sunday, a statement from the club said it hoped to run the meeting in October.
It read: ‘It is with regret that the Committee and Members of the Mid Antrim 150 Club have made the decision to postpone our Ulster Superbike (USBK) races, the Neil and Donny Robinson Memorial Races.

“These races were due to be held on 18th and 19th July at Bishopscourt Racing Circuit. The reason for this decision is in keeping with Government Restrictions and Regulations during the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.
The Club hope to run the Neil and Donny Robinson Memorial in October, but this will totally depend on the Government lifting the Restrictions and Regulations imposed on the country.
“Hopefully, Phase 5 of the Sport NI Framework will be in place by then.”
The announcement comes after the Hillsborough Club cancelled the showpiece Sunflower Trophy races at Bishopscourt in October.
In April, the Enkalon Trophy meeting at Bishopscourt and Easter Monday races at Kirkistown in Co Down were called off.
