British Grass-Track Championships 2010

For the third year in succession I covered the 2010 British Grass-Track Championships near March in Cambridgeshire, on what was one of the hottest days of the year so far.

With sun-burnt calves, whilst trying to dodge the dust as I kept the sun behind me, the tractor and 10,000 gallon water bowser was used to spray the dusty track. The dampened surface worked well for the race immediately after the dowsing (see pic above), but after that the dust returned.

With former European Superstox champion, Ivan Russell, on hand to present trophies to the seven classes, congratulations must go to the youngster Scott White, who went on to win a British title for the third year in a row, whilst 90cc graduate Harry Hensby won the junior 4-stroke 125cc title.
