It must be the lack of racing over the winter that does it !!

I have just heard today that Klaus Schreiner, the popular organiser of Schleiz, has suffered a major heart attack and is now recovering in hospital.

We wish him a full recovery, and look forward to seeing him up and about soon.

On a positive note, Bernie Chequer is also recovering from his latest surgery and is looking forward to the season.

As some of you may know, Brian Richards has been in hospital recently.
Colon Cancer was diagnosed on the 23rd December, an attempt to remove without open surgery in early January, failed, he had open surgery on the 4th February which was a complete success, he has been assured by the surgeon all the affected tissue has been removed, and he doesn’t need any secondary treatment, and although he has an appointment for a check-up in a months time he expects this to be routine, and will probably not need to be seen again for 3 year’s.

Brian said he feels very well, and is getting stronger by the day, he was looking forward to giving the MV a run in the parade’s at Mettet, but have just found out they’ve been dropped from the program.

Brian would like to thank those who have wished him well and he looks forward to seeing everyone again this year.

We all look forward to that Brian.

New Year updates

If you have not re-registered, please do so soon.

2010 Entry Forms will be available to riders who have re-registered for 2010 at the end of January.

I still need machines for display at Race Retro in march, I am looking for bikes to display the new IHRO 2 Class, all offers gratefully considered.

I have had an email from Klaus at Schleiz saying that there has been a local resident complaining about the circuit, they need to make sure that all the events in 2010 are well supported so that they can show how valuable the racing is to the region in terms of local income, so please, if you are thinking about riding at Schleiz, please make sure that you make the effort to be there, and if you are not thinking about riding at Schleiz, please change your mind. Classic racing cannot afford to loose this circuit.

IHRO will have a display of bikes at Race Retro at Stoneleigh Park on 12-14 March 2010.

I would like to use this opportunity to showcase the machines which are eligible for the new IHRO 2 class.

If anyone has a multi cylinder machine which is suitable and which they are able to get to Stoneleigh would you please contact me as soon as possible.

I can offer free entry ticket to anyone who displays a bike.

This is a fantastic show with all branches of Historic motor sport catered for and is well worth a visit.

Klaus has asked me publish the entry form links for the non – IHRO races at Schleiz in 2010

Extra rides for additional bikes if you want more track time at this fabulous circuit, but be quick, they fill up fast.

Also, there is a new class in Germany for two stroke bikes, there will be races at Schleiz and Oscherleben for this class, so it might be worth an extra entry.
