That's All Folks.....!

  The Spectator posts at last!! After giving it much thought, this will be the last ever post by myself...The Motor Racing Spectator will be updated no more sadly. It's been a losing battle over the the last few years to keep the blog regularly updated and I'm simply not going to as much racing as I used to plus the fact that when I do go, finding the time to update the blog, keeping it fresh, is becoming harder and harder to do. Indeed I can watch a humble clubbie live on YouTube these days and the blog has lost its immediacy that is required in the modern world. I started the blog in 2012 so it's fitting to end it 10 years later in 2022.  The world has changed in those 10 years and it's time to move on. I thought I would give my thoughts on the meetings I have been to since May. MALLORY PARK SUNDAY 22ND MAY This was the second day of a 2 day meeting organised by the Classic and Modern Motorsport Club. The CMMC (as I'll word it from here on in!) is one of the young...

April 2019

Sunday 14th April finally saw The Spectator at a race meeting in 2019! Following the very wintry March/April of 2018, the early season fixture list this year seemed rather sparse with several clubs and circuits having later starts than normal in a bid to escape any bad weather. As is the way this year's Spring weather was distinctly more pleasant than last year.... Motor Sport Vision Racing (MSVR) were in charge at Donington with a 10 race each day schedule on the National circuit. On arrival at Donington I was greeted by the revamped entrance for spectators at the Paddock gates. MSV had certainly been busy over the winter with the area surrounding the Melbourne Hairpin being opened up and a concourse laid out with ticket booths. Alas the Melbourne Hairpin now has catch fencing around it's entire viewing area, which given the low speed nature of the corner is a shame and indicative of current safety thinking. On a very cold overcast day the first race of the new seaso...

Wolverhampton Speedway Monday 18th July 2016

Having not been to any motorsport of any kind for 4 weeks, The Spectator's feet were itching so for the first time in nearly 2 years it was time to watch Speedway! After an abysmal Summer so far weather wise, it was on a gloriously sunny and warm Monday evening in Wolverhampton that I chose to head to the Black Country. August 2014 saw my last visit to Monmore Green Stadium, home of the Wolverhampton Wolves. After a couple of years of struggling in the Elite League, the Wolves are top of the table this season. Swindon Robins were the visitors and with Swindon lying 3rd in the table a tight match looked to be in prospect. However this proved emphatically not to be the case as Wolves simply dominated the night's proceedings wining by 62pts-30pts. Such was their dominance that Swindon only provided 1 heat winner all evening, Nick Morris in Heat 4. The tight confines of the Wolverhampton track (264 metres in length) obviously didn't suit the Swindon riders whose home trac...
