Guys,
I'm a member of a UK bike forum and a guy I know over there has set up a couple of other websites, one of them, http://bikeracenews.com covers all aspects of Motorcycle racing news. It looks pretty good so I just thought I'd stick it up here, might interest some of you guys.

The site has a section on Road Racing but just covers the IOM TT and the Manx so far. He is trying to get more info on Irish road racing and plans to include Irish updates on the site so if you have any tips on where he can get info stick em up here and I'll pass them on, or maybe I'll send him a link to this page.

IMO, in the current economic climate, anything we can do to increase the profile of the sport and get more fans travelling over here to race meets can only be a good thing.

Good stuff Ferg

[Fr Dougal]

So anyone any ideas where Nigel can get info/updates on Irish Road Racing? Not copying off other sites, looking for a good source of legit info.

I'm in and bracing myself for the flood of reports for the site

Cheers mate - he hasn't been back to me as yet but thanks to everyone for their help. I'll be delighted if he does decide to join us and it won't do him any harm either.

Thanks for the offer of pics too Magnets, do you have a site to link back to when published?

BRN is absolutely flying now already with over 1200 visitors a day and thats before the racing starts

Update:

Darren has now signed up for the site and his first article has gone straight to number 3 in google

Clicky

Once again, thanks for all your help and thanks for your support for the lad. I spoke to him on the phone and he is ambitious enough to make a name for himself in this industry.

I'm very happy to have him on board

Absolutely chuffed for the pup, well done Darren. Short, sweet and to the point(unlike my ramblings lol), best of luck for the season ahead and you know I'm here if required.
