You beat me to it,  I nipped by Foxhall earlier to find out if the diner is still open week days, it's not officially open but rumour has it some food and drink will be available on the 27th March for those who happen to be passing in the afternoon. Tracks coming on as well.

No idea why they haven’t arranged a challenge for Thursday. Ok the weather has been poor of late but nobody knew that would be the case when the fixtures were sorted. 

CL admitted he tried to arrange a meeting with a Premiership team but none could agree. Did it have to be a Premiership team? Why not do similar to what Lakeside have done and started with the Billy Sanders memorial with a field including the 7 Witches?

would have at least given them semi competitive laps before the real stuff starts Good Friday. Not exactly overloaded with fixtures this year either compared to previous years so it’s a strange decision. 

Because of the track work maybe, probably to be on the safe side this time of year...

Ah no - but there could be Sound and there was Sound.

Sound and Light is Great but not Feasible.

Let there be drums, there was drums.
Let there be guitar, there was guitar
Let there be rock .

But they’ve already said they tried to arrange a Challenge with a Premiership side. My point is why stop at a Premiership side? If they wanted to give the riders a Challenge meeting before the real stuff they could have arranged something surely? 

As it turns out maybe it wouldn’t have happened anyway if the track work wasn’t completed who knows. 

The official line last week on press day was that there would be no practice due to the weather, not that the track work hasn’t been completed.

Let there be whistles - there are whistles

Who said he was leader? And how could he be leader when it was set up before him. There is one chap that does the Facebook and Twitter page, so he is the main man. I have a feeling the chap with 56 names was asked if he wanted to sit with a bunch that already sat together and he took it on himself to be leader, but like said above, he fell out with a couple and hasn't been seen or heard of since, which is a shame as he was awsome at blowing his own horn.

In my humble opinion I would have said that there was at least 1 more layer of dirt to go on the top before it could be raced,  the bend reshaping was finished though. But I'm no track man so who knows.

Stainless, Fueltaps would be correct in saying it was another who originally set up the Facebook page and came up with the name MASSIF  so I can't take any credit for that part of it , but as others and yourself have mentioned differences within the group saw this said person decide he didnt want to be associated with the group anymore and see me take up the challenge of trying to look after our Facebook  page . 

It was my choice after asking people on the page would they want a Twitter page as well which seems to have been a big success so far . 

I'm not the leader nor do wish to be called the leader of the MASSIF , I do what I do on the Facebook page and Twitter account because I enjoy doing  it.

No one person is the MASSIF, we are a group of madcap noisy fun loving collection of people who enjoy going to  speedway . All we have tried to do is try and get the crowd going and inject a bit of atmosphere into the meeting which resulted  in some brilliant night's at Foxhall towards the end of last season even if the results didn't go our way . 

That's us the MASSIF .
