About the Kells Road Races
The Kells and District Motor Cycle Racing Club was founded in October 1992, by a group of dedicated road race enthusiasts. The ambition at the time was to bring back Pure Road Racing to Co. Meath.
The first race took place in 1994 at a circuit close to Kells, at Dulane. However even then they were looking around for an ideal circuit and we found it in the beautiful village of Crossakiel. The village is situated approximately five miles from Kells.
The race track is in superb condition with a bit of everything, jumps, wide fast main road and spectacular side roads. The circuit itself is 2.2 miles long. It is ideal for riders to get to know and has easy access around the track for spectators with many vantage points.
There were tons of motorcycles in the parking and the whole atmosphere was electric. The day was however a little gloomy with the clouds and it did rain a little bit.
This reminded me of my first road race viewing experience in Paeroa, New Zealand in early 2008. You can see my blog on that here.
