Round 4 Bridgestone Championship at Warmingham Lane
Round 4 of Bridgestone BSMA Championship
Round 4 of the Bridgestone Championship at Warmington Lane with track perfectly prepared and an unknown track to most people made for very exciting meeting, unfortunately late afternoon the weather took a change for the worst going into the third block after the Novice/Vets race the meeting had to be abandoned, with weather forecast good for the next day and water draining from the track very well, we were hoping to continue with the meeting on the Sunday, but again with rain coming down during the night and also again on Sunday morning we had no other option but to cancel for safety reasons.
Results of the races that took place will stand and hopefully we will have a good meeting at Pontrilas in four weeks time for the 5th round.
