Ledbury MCC Flyer Grasstrack, September 22 2013
Preview: Ben Falconer
Ledbury MCC's final grasstrack of the year is not far away and it promises to be a cracker.
Everything is in place for an excellent event - the track is the same 410 metre "swooper" as the highly successful ACU British Upright Championship, the prize money has been upped to tempt the top names, and of course the sun will shine (fingers crossed on that one).
As the regulations show, the usual classes will line up including 500cc and 1000cc outfits, 250s, 350s and 500s. And there's various classes for older machines, and they're quick too!
Practice is at 10.30am, tapes up at 12.30pm.
