OUR story

GRASSTRACK BANTER PROMOTIONS WAS FORMED BY THE QUARTET THAT IS BEN ILSLEY, GARETH BEMISTER, RUSSELL LITTLE & LUKE RUSSELL…We’ve been friends for a long time and in that time it’s fair to say that we’ve gained a lot of experience in the world of Grasstrack, and motorcycle racing in general, running a host of media platforms for Grasstrack used by riders, organisers and spectators alike. Now is time to evolve our time, our passion, our plans, with unlimited enthusiasm and fresh ideas.

In 2021, we hosted our very first Grasstrack racing event- Bantasia 1. The event was held under COVID restriction behind closed doors. Our superb venue held up to 68 races, all of which were seen by a live audience via a professional livestream on Facebook. You can watch the livestream of our inaugural meeting here. https://vimeo.com/539824500/16496de8c8

Why do we do what we do? There’s a question! We do what we do and make decisions based on a wide range of visions and thought processes. Let’s be honest here, having love and health in your life often leads to happiness, but a little bit of what your heart desires helps further your wellbeing. Our desire and passion is Grasstrack. Everything it stands for, and every way it makes us feel and is our release from the real world.

We started Grasstrack Banter Promotions because, well, we just couldn’t help it! We couldn’t fight the urge, the constant thoughts and visions of running our own events. So now it is time to make the jump. With years of experience behind us in the wonderful world of Grasstrack Racing as competitors, designing posters, sending out regs, editing podcasts, running social events and helping our local Grasstrack clubs, the time is finally right for us to start something we’ve always aspired to do. Thus, Grasstrack Banter Promotions was born!

We are focused on where we want to take the sport and Grasstrack Banter Promotions over the next decade. We have a passion for all things Grasstrack and, no doubt as we establish ourselves, we will strive to fulfil all of our ambitions. We do what we do because we love Grasstrack and everything which it stands for.

As we grow our sporting motorcycle club, we plan to eventually grow our events and status. Our inaugural meeting ‘Bantasia 1’ was a great success despite many hurdles along the way and now we look forward to building on it with ‘Bantasia 2’. We’d very much like you guys to be on that journey with us and join our club and get involved.
