| Sun 9th August | Manchester Individual Grand Prix Series - Test Event | Astley & Tyldesley | |
|
Astley & Tyldesley hosted a test event at Gin Pit on Sunday, to explore the viability of staging a Manchester Individual Grand Prix series this summer. 14 riders turned out, with the organisers putting them into three groups, with some doubling up to ensure viability. A most enjoyable event took place, run at a leisurely pace to allow riders adequate recovery in between races, on a hot, sunny afternoon, in the first match at Gin Pit since March. A&T's Duncan Whalley raced to a maximum score in the u-13 match, with team mate Matt Snell repeating the feat in the Junior match. The Senior match was the most competitive, with A&T's Reece Pollitt top scoring, beaten only by team mate Steve Harris in heat 6. Steve recorded the fastest time of the day, 42.09 secs, in heat 1 of the Senior match. The post match discussion amongst the organisers and club representatives decreed that the event was viable enough to justify the staging of a six round series, using the same categories, at the three Gt. Manchester tracks. Therefore, Round 1 of the series will take place at Bury next Sunday, 16th August, 1 pm start. |
