IDEN CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 11

What a fantastic turn out for this meeting, nearly all groups were full, with brilliant weather for the day. This meeting being the final round of the championship meant it was very important for everyone , collecting those all important points to finish the summer championship and get their respective places, giving us some great racing during the three blocks on the day .

Once again the track team provided fantastic track conditions which held up all day ensuring a good days racing for all, with the guys working through lunch to keep it maintained for the afternoon blocks.

Unfortunately there were a few accidents which the clerk of the course felt warranted a red flag for the safety of the riders, and to enable the medics to treat them under safe conditions, as they could not be moved from the track straight away. Thank you to those who did adhere to the waved yellow flags and slow down near the incidents, but there were a fair few who didn’t! Waved yellow means slow down No overtaking, anyone seen doing either of these will have points removed as done on previous occasions.

The clerk of the course had to recall all the riders from the BW/SW group to have a stern talk about not slowing down under waved yellow flags .so please remember the safety codes of the flags and slow down, this is for your safety as well!

Well done to all the people who dealt with the incidents so quickly and efficiently, ensuring every ones safety.

The club would like to send their best to the couple of injured riders and wish them a speedy recovery.

THE TEAM EVENT UPDATE 2009
