Clinton Enterprises are delighted to be attending this year’s Ulster Grand Prix taking place this August. It’s clear that the organisers of this year’s event are particulalry excited about the packed programme of events for their August 8-14 Bike Week.
The famous old race will have a new title sponsor on board as they welcomed Nutts Corner-based McKinstry Skip Hire. Race chiefs also voiced their confidence that the revamped and rebranded Dundrod event will live up to its billing as the ‘World’s Fastest Road Race.’
Dundrod Club President James Courtney said: “Bike Week 2009 saw some truly exceptional racing which reignited excitement and enthusiasm for the Ulster Grand Prix after the weather quite literally put a dampener on proceedings the previous year.
“We’re confident we can build on that success and continue to attract today’s top road racers. Last year we retained the accolade of ‘World’s Fastest Road Race’ when Conor Cummins broke all existing records with a blistering 133mph lap. Although Conor will unfortunately be unable to defend his title this August, I’ve no doubt that others such as Ian Hutchinson who were snapping at his heels last year, will be doing their best to match or better it this time around.”
Top racers and confirmed competitors Ryan Farquhar and William Dunlop will be taking part.
