Paul Brown organiser of Fridays race has been in touch and unfortunately the race at West lodge visitor centre has had to be cancelled.
An Inspection of the Land tonight (monday) has shown that even at this early stage its not possible to even get onto some areas to cut the very long grass, and the area of wood is under water in many places. The Owner felt the race areas would be very badly damaged (its visited daily by many children) and requested a postponement to prevent this.
Although this is very unfortunate especially on top of Last Fridays sudden cancellation of the Cosford round, it's a result of whats already the wettest June month on record, and the wettest month ever in some parts combined with our regions clay soil and high water table.
Both Organisers are doing all they can to re-schedule the races if possible and any pre-entries can be re-used or returned, you will have to contact the event organisers, details on the entry form for more details at present. More news when we have it.
Please tell anyone you know of this cancellation, hopefully we can spread the word fast and prevent anyone wasting a journey to the event.
Nobody wants a repaet of this, action from last weekends 24Hr racing.
