Ayr Motorcycle Club is proud to announce that it will host Founders’ Day on Saturday, 27th September 2025; a special event dedicated to honouring the club’s founding members as well as recognising past and present members who have helped shape the club’s legacy.
Alongside the club’s regular classes, Founders’ Day will feature four thrilling special night races. The Bill Smith Memorial Race will see the top 12 senior riders after three afternoon rounds battle it out under lights. The Hyne/Taylor Shield (Junior 125cc/250cc, 13–16 years) will feature the 12 highest-placed juniors competing in an exciting 8-lap final. The May Steel Memorial Race is another senior showdown featuring the top 12 riders, while the Shirley Chard Trophy will be awarded to the top female competitor, decided by total point scores across the day.
Racing action will kick off at 2:00pm, leading into the special night races under the floodlights. Spectators can look forward to an electric atmosphere, with both a licensed bar and canteen open throughout the event.
“Founders’ Day is about celebrating where we’ve come from, honouring the people who built this club, and showcasing the incredible talent we have today,” said Karl Vass, President of the Ayr Motorcycle Club. “It promises to be a day of great racing and community spirit.”
Ayr Motorcycle Club invites all members, supporters, and the wider community to come along and be part of this special day in the club’s history.
