Bardney racer Ivan Lintin was racing over two consecutive weekends in Ireland where he scored two top seven finishes in the Athea races before moving on to compete in the Skerries 100 road races where he rode to another two strong finishes. At Athea in the south of Ireland he qualified in second place on the McKinstry Racing 250cc machine and rode through to complete the eight lap affair in third place, breaking the lap record in the process.
