300 entrants and counting for 2012 Ormskirk MotorFest

JUST had a quick note from the organisers of this year's Ormskirk MotorFest to say they've hit the magic number of 300 entries from car and bike enthusiasts.

Aintree Circuit Club confirmed today that they are no longer accepting entries for road cars for the event, which takes place in the West Lancashire market town on Sunday, August 26.

Club chairman Mike Ashcroft said: "We have now hit the magic number of 300 entries and we are now no longer accepting entries from road cars. The only car entries that we will now accept are competition vehicles - race, rally or speed type - i.e. single seaters, saloons or sports cars. We are still accepting motorcycle entries but only for the next seven days. Entries will close finally on Monday, July 30.

"We will, however, be reserving places for a number of racing cars that we are expecting as late entries due to rebuilds taking place prior to the event and the registration system will remain open only for these cars after this date."
