At 17:19 me and my brother in law are marshalling the Sunday of the meeting. It was a great day and a new experience as we were both track marshals from Lydden Hill. We did spend a lot of time replacing the paper flags on the edge of the track after each race. Graham Hurry even came and marshalled at Lydden for a car race later in the year at out invitation.

They tried to promote grasstrack here in Northern Ireland but it never took off which is a real shame as this looks fantastic. Instead we went down the pure road race route which is also very exciting.....

That is a great shame, as if you have the right land, then Grasstrack can be incredible to ride, and watch. I also watch the "Pure Road Racing" from Northern Ireland, and it's wicked.

Not like the real Grand Slam of the 1960's then. They were full on 12 lap finals for true grass track riders. Who!e sport became watered down because of speedway riders
