Possibly they thought Comets fans would come anyway, but still confused at no Comets. Agree but probably down to the organisers of the Ben Fund to assemble the meeting riders. Workington Press and Practice the following week so it will be the first time people will see the full one to seven riders who will be lining up for the Comets. Yes I know other tracks are still to have there own practice sessions to fit in before the season starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 I'd be thinking that locals will be attracted by the concept of seeing their very own GP star (and former) Comet in action around Northside..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelShoe Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Hardly stopped raining in Worky for the last 2 days, real shame but least it is has been rescheduled for next weekend . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 (edited) More like hasn't stopped raining all week !!! Apparently car park and surrounding areas were under water yesterday, and if meeting struggled to be on, the car park area would have been damaged and taken a few weeks to repair, so a sensible decision to postpone the event. Heard the track stood up well but extremely wet Edited March 15 by Neila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topaz325 Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Just now, old bob at herne bay said: Assume the car park is a grass field ? Yes , mostly grass and some gravel. Hopefully the rearranged date will go ahead and still attract a good crowd. Sunday 24th March at 2pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday 24th March at 2pm. Sadly not. The 24th would have caused some riders having to withdraw, and to maintain the standard of the event, it will be restaged later in the season.
