Chairing A Meeting
'Big chair' action during the Master of Midshires Grasstrack Championship at Victory Field, Ashorne, Warwickshire. Rugby's Mark Cossar and Plymouth-based passenger Carl Blyth exit turn two in a 1000cc sidecars heat. Unfortunately, only one of the classification finals, the 250cc solos, was run because the meeting had to be abandoned after 40 of 46 scheduled races owing to rider concerns over the dangers posed by uncontrollable dust. Admission was £15 and a 32-page programme sold for £2. Estimated attendance was about 1,500. The meeting was staged in memory of the late Peter Maddison, a generous sponsor of grasstrack clubs and riders, who died in 2016.
