Yearbyred 1,107 Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) It’s been re-scheduled with about 5 days notice, due to a lack of volunteers. (That’s the official reason given). To compare it to the other issues we have seen this year is ridiculous. You aren’t going to attend because it’s on a different date?

To compare it to the other issues we have seen this year is ridiculous. You aren’t going to attend because it’s on a different date? And 5 days is more than 4,3,2 and 1 day ….. What would others of said about Redcar speedway if they had said nothing, had riders travel from all over the country and let everyone in on Sunday and then called the meeting off 10 minutes before the start due to a lack of volunteers ( yes people who give up time with their own families to help out and don’t get paid) I can imagine this thread would of been red hot with stinging criticism come 5:30 on Sunday night Edited May 31, 2022 by KEITH M 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
