Bob Mac race meeting, East Fortune 2019
« on: February 12, 2019, 12:17:08 AM »
Aye Rufus and Tony,

Details are not yet available, but I can advise that the dates for the Bob Mac meeting at East Fortune Race Circuit, North Berwick, East Lothian, EH39 5JX on the SACU calendar are Friday 14th June to Sunday 16th June 2019 inclusive. Link: SACU_road_race_calendar_2019

Set up day is Friday, practise on Saturday morning, racing/parades Saturday afternoon, short practise Sunday morning followed by racing and racing/parades Sunday afternoon. The weather can be cool, windy and wet, or hot and windy that'll take the skin off your face like a blowtorch. Usually, very friendly and camping is adjacent to the paddock on grass (plenty of room); as this is part of an ex-WWI and WWII airfield (Wikipedia_East_Fortune_airfield). You can wander the paddock at all times and have the craic. Usually a strong contingent from the NE Motorcycle Racing Club attend and a goodly number of sidecars.

Scottish Museum of Flight and a large boot sale (Sunday) are adjacent, along with a microlight airfield, if the bikes get boring or the weather postpones racing.

Video of racing at East Fortune to give you an idea of your way around. Pits and camping in the middle of the circuit, with restricted access, outwith racing and practise.

Good call!  Had meant to go for years, finally went last year with my other half, who put up with a whole afternoon there. Good day out!
