About Us:

Originally formed over 30 years ago by Carl Stanton on the principle of "good competitive racing, on near standard BSA Bantam machines, at a reasonable cost for ages 12-16 and 16 years plus, on 125/150/175cc bikes" Bantam grasstrack was born. This was reviewed and revived by the Formula Grasstrack Association which is now the governing body, and incorporates  Wrekin Grasstrack Club, and the Whitchurch Motorcycle Club, to include the formula of a "bog standard" 125cc four stroke Honda machines, enlisting more youth classes followed, we can now cater for all age groups i.e. Cadet 6-9 years(100cc), Cub 9 - 12 years (125cc), Junior 12 - 16 (125cc), and Seniors 16 years plus, All competitors are now using air cooled 4 stroke Honda engines after the BSA power unit was phased out in 2009.

The season comprises approximately off 12 race meetings from mid April to the end of October. All meetings are run as championship rounds, trophy events are incorporated in these with a big final race and there is usually one pairs meeting .

Famous grasstrack and speedway riders that have emanated from the incorporated clubs of Formula Grasstrack include Graham Jones, of Wolves and England speedway, 13 times British 250cc Champion Mark Wadsworth, Wayne Broadhurst, Carl Wilkes, Graham Thomas, James Mann, Lee Smethills, Jack Hargreaves and Adam Roynan. Rising star young Tom Perry went through all the classes of FGA racing.

The FGA pioneered the first four stroke youth International in 2002. Held in July at Habberley, Shropshire, during the British Grasstrack championships whereby Dutch riders were invited to ride with the FGA youth riders on the Saturday and Sunday.
