Comet Trail
Battling through the Warwickshire dust, Thomas Jorgensen exits turn four in a 500cc solos heat during the seventh Master of Midshires Grasstrack Championship at Victory Field, Ashorne. The Dane is wearing his Workington Comets speedway racejacket. 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.
