This weekend – 7th and 8th of May – sees the Thundersprint take place in the town centre of Northwich, Cheshire; this well-established event has become one of the most popular and well-attended events on the UK’s motorcycling calendar.
The Thundersprint track is laid out in Northwich’s main car park and although tiny, at just 447 yards, is a superb little race circuit. The individually timed sprints take place on Sunday and racers taking part this year will include Arai’s MotoGP superstar Cal Crutchlow, who has always had a hankering to ride at the Thundersprint. He’s suitably pleased; “I have heard so many good things about the Thundersprint that for 2011 I was determined to be there. I enjoy racing in world championship events but they are serious work in every way. I’m coming to the Thundersprint to do what I love best in life: be with bikes, meet fans – and have a play about on the track too. I’m also looking forward to being with some of the famous riders of the past and seeing some fabulous historic Grand Prix bikes.”
There will be print programmes available throughout the Thundersprint on both Saturday and Sunday; these will be completely free of charge as is admission, parking and grandstand seating.
2724UK, the UK importer of Arai helmets, based very close to the Thundersprint in Newcastle under Lyme has been a long term supporter of the event – and accordingly the Arai Race Service Vehicle and Technicians will be in attendance, assisting any member of the public with an Arai that needs advice, service or attention. In addition, Arai is providing the trophies for winners for the following Thundersprint Races; Sidecar, Golden Age, Pre War, Classic 250, 350 and 500, Lightweight and Modern Classics.

Thundersprint Organiser, Frank Melling said; “As ever, we are delighted to have Arai involved in our event. It so pleasing to have one of motorcycling’s most iconic brands being so closely involved with the Thundersprint: truly, the world’s greatest (and only) ‘Grand Prix in a Car Park’.”
