sa 16 ju 2007 ~ Grass track racing in a field just outside Little Glemham, Suffolk

Yes god must be a biker because as the Suffolk summer evening suddenly darkened with approaching black satanic clouds and a grass track full of people started zipping up their jackets ... the clouds suddenly parted and went either side of the field!

Love grass track, a real participant's sport with flying mud, now and then the whiff of Castrol R, quad bikes, sidecars, barring the occasional accident the races just keep on coming and as far as we could see a complete lack of pretension.  Though we innocent onlookers may think it must be safer because grass is softer to fall on there are dangers associated with digging in.  This accident was a sidecar driver with a suspected broken ankle when his foot caught in the grass and turned under him ... and we still can't believe how young some of the competitors are.

This event was organised by the Woodbridge and District Motor Cycle Club.
