Today (Wednesday 1st February 2023) rider entries have opened for the Farleigh Castle Vets MX event which will take place on September 9th and 10th, its usual weekend in the motocross calendar. Check out the official statement released by the organising club West Devon Motor Cycle Club.
As in the previous story, in order to avoid possible confusion with the Foxhill event, the original Vets MXdN has undergone a makeover and will now be called the Farleigh Castle Vets MX and will take place on the usual weekend of the 9th & 10th September.
The tested format will be the same as previous years with the Nations Team races and no less than seven support classes for Twinshock, Evo and Super Evo machines, which include riders of various ages over thirty.
Our organising team realise that the world is under financial pressure at this time and although the costs of promoting the event have risen considerably we are trying to keep increases to a minimum. The registration process will cost £10 in an attempt to minimise riders entering two classes (which obviously allows a better chance for other potential riders) whilst the entry fee will remain at £169.40 which has been held for three years.
A fresh look to the website www.farleighcastlevetsmx.co.uk now holds all the information and on- line registrations will open on the above website (not the ACU system) on Wednesday February 1st. As in previous years, riders will need to complete the Registration process which costs £10 and then complete their entry by the 20th February. This system eliminates the mad rush to gain a place and gives more riders a chance to enter.
Teams can make an application for entry to Sonia Goggin in the usual way at goggseast25@live.co.uk , but it should be stressed that Teams from recognised FIM federations will have priority over second teams from any country.
The full event regulations will be published here on the 27th of this month which riders should read in advance of making an entry.
The classes will be as follows. Each class will have four races.
Team Races of four riders on a mixture of Twinshock and Evo / Super Evo machines.

All 125 machines. Riders Over 30
