o dear it has just started to rain

I went to my first meeting at the Rye, so I'm told, in 1974.  I remember Brian Foot was my favourite rider at that time.

 

I still however, consider myself to be in the whippersnapper category given the age of those I attend the Rye with.

Ah Brian Foote (note correct spelling!) - well remember his frequent - how shall I put it - "disagreements" with a certain Tony Childs!

My Rye hero in the aggro stakes had to be Kelvin Mullarkey. One of the "characters" of the sport.

I live 4 miles down the road from the track with the weather heading from my direction to the track. We have had a shower for about 5-10 minutes but it has stopped now. overcast but still quite bright.

the suns shineing.

As its an FIM meeting the track would have to be under ten foot of water to be called off. They will run the meeting tonight no matter what.

 

To many riders and officials from all over Europe have come over for the meeting to call it off. Plus Len won't want to pay for them to fly back over again.

 

Hopefully the track is not overly wet and we can get some good racing.

Just rung the track again and have been told the decision will now be made at 6.30. It is raining at the track but every effort will be made to race the meeting. I suppose we knew the latter point given that it is an FIM event.

 

I'm probably going to chance it so this might be the last you from me for a while.

[Sir Ted 0]

Just spoke to my mate who is track side who in his words said that it is "effing pi$$ing down". He is going to ring me in 5-10 minutes and let me know what is going on.

 

Looks like i probably won't chance it.
