Ramsey Sprint
History
The Ramsey Sprint is a drag sprint event over an 1/8th mile strip. Anyone
can compete, as long as they are willing to pay the entry fee. Motorcycles
from all over the world enter, most already over as part of the TT Festival.
Some bikes have special modifications, which keeps things interesting. All
day event with food, exhibits and entertainment.
Location
The race takes place on the blocked off northern seaside road of Mooragh
Promenade in the town of Ramsey.
By Vehicle:
Head towards the north and Ramsey.
By Bus:
Take bus routes no. 5 and 6 from Douglas and Peel to Ramsey and walk to the
northern coast of Ramsey, across the bridge.
By Railway:
Travel to Douglas on the Steam Railway and then to Ramsey on the Electric
Railway. Mooragh Park is just a short walk away and is next to the Sprinting
road along the northern coast of Ramsey, across the bridge.
Competing in and Watching the Ramsey Sprint Races
The Ramsey Sprint is open to everyone with a motorcycle. A slight
inspection of machines will be made when signing on. Pay and go, no need
to pre-arrange, just turn up on the day.
Visitors can watch the event from the northern promenade side of the street.
There is lots of action to be seen and since the event is all day, getting
a good view is not hard. Parking available near Mooragh Park.
Ramsey Sprint Day is traditionally a busy day for the Manx Electric
Railway as it shuttles tourists and locals back and forth from Ramsey.
If you are planning to travel up on the MER, then get their early or
you maybe standing for the long journey. Beware that the last tram of the
day could be very busy, standing room only is common.
