Meeting was the East Anglian Spring Trophy, Chelmsford, Essex. Reason for cancellation was because of problems in regard to health and accident cover - not caused by the promoting club.

Piotr Pyszny Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) My first - and almost certainly last - 2017 grasstrack meeting yesterday. The Peter Maddison Master of Midshires, near Ashorne, Warks, proved to be a fiasco. It was abandoned after 40 of 46 scheduled races owing to rider safety concerns about dust and inconsistent track watering. The only final staged was the 250cc solos, won by Henry Atkins. The Midshires Grasstrack Club proved wholly incapable of providing the necessary water provision. The action started an hour late, at 1.30pm, and it took almost five hours to get through 40 races. Pathetic. I'd say a third of an estimated 1,500 crowd, bored with the delays and fed up with the dust, had departed for home well before the enforced end. Still, at least the amateurishness of grasstrack continues to make similarly shambolic speedway appear vaguely professional. Plans to attend next month's Lincolnshire Poacher now scrapped. I'll go to cricket instead. Edited July 10, 2017 by Piotr Pyszny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midland Red Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Must admit I left at 2.50pm, having been there since before 10.00am It had got to the stage where riders disappeared into a cloud of dust which had not totally cleared when they came round again Taking photographs proved eventually to be a fruitless exercise, the leader on lap one the only possible image to be had Final straw for me was, immediately after the fourth or fifth watering, the sidecars came out and it became clear that the water sprayer had made no difference whatsoever Can't blame the organisers for the weather - it really was hot yesterday - but, yes, there were delays to the programme early on which set everything back, and information was not always forthcoming Feel sorry for the organisers who put in a massive effort to stage this event, and they will be as disappointed as all the riders and spectators at the outcome There is always the chance of something going wrong in a programme of 40+ races, on a circuit far bigger than a speedway track - plus the insurance requirement of practice time for each and every rider Very sad at how things panned out yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
