Kenny 5 laps fearon:t: remember the night a certain scotish referee came out the box in front of a full grandstand to have a go at him as he had left a marker on the track then banned him from rest of meeting, respect for kenny for not knocking him flat on his back.:t:RIP an unsong " comets" hero.

Hearing some sad news tonight, Kenny fearon the start marshal and ex rider for the comets in the 70's has sadly passed away, no details,

RIP kenny, used to enjoy a drink with him watching the GP's in station road club 

Heard tell he died from bowel cancer, knew Kenny well, hadn't seen him in months tho so this is probably why....

RIP Kenny!!

At the track the stream is 30 seconds behind the live action, spoke to both max and nigel before the action both had nice things to say about workington, and have to say what a good night good racing and fantastic stadium now and the boss " gerry" always has time to have a chat i wish he just lived in workington.
