RACE Retro is inviting private owners of retro and café racer motorcycles to compete in a concours competition at this year’s show held at Stoneleigh Park, Coventry from March 12-14.

Supported by Classic Bike, Ace Cafe London and Meguiars, the entrants will be judged by an expert panel with the winners receiving trophies, rosettes, and product packs.

Prize winners will be presented with their awards at the show by former Norton development engineer and racing legend Peter Williams, and eight times GP World Champion Phil Read.

Entries are limited to a total of 50 bikes covering all categories and entries will be accepted on a strictly first come first served basis so don’t delay. An entry form can be found on the show’s website raceretro.com.

Entries are free and entitle the entrant to two show entry passes per bike displayed and a parking pass. All bikes must be presented to the exhibition halls on Thursday March 11 between 8am and 9pm and removed on Sunday March 14 from one hour after the show closes to the public at 4.30pm. The halls will be security guarded at all times and locked down overnight.

Race Retro will be paying tribute to 60 years of Norton with a stunning display of motorcycles as well as having Norton racers who will be on hand to talk about the bikes’ finest hour such as John ‘Mooneyes’ Cooper, Trevor Nation and Keith Heckles, who will be talking with Race Retro motorcycle MC Steve Parrish.

And if you are looking to buy, H&H Auctions will have a private collection of 50 motorcycles up for grabs including rare Nortons and an early Harley Davidson.

Also making a more than welcome return is the Ken Fox Troupe Wall of Death. Using Indian and early Honda twins, Ken and his riders continue to defy the force of gravity.

Adult ticket prices start from £20 for Friday and £15 for Saturday and Sunday when booking in advance or upgrade to a VIP ticket with hospitality and a chance to meet are special guests. Children’s tickets are £5 on Friday or Saturday and free on Sunday. Parking is also free.
