Heathersfield Gold Helmet

Gold Helmet winner Adam McKinna, on his way to victory in heat 1

Congratulations to Adam McKinna on winning the Heathersfield Gold Helmet. A faultless run of five victories took him just out of the reach of the very impressive Richard Lawson, with a slow starting Gary Beaton eventually taking third place. Sorry theres no vid clips. I had intended to take take one of the final, only to be informed as the last heat finished that there would be no final. It's all my fault for not buying a programme really. Last of the great cheapskates I am........

A final would have been a nice way to round off the meeting, but Adam McKinna was the best rider out there yesterday. A worthy champion.

A big shout to Colin Mackie for all his hard work in putting on a decent event in the face of some pretty grim conditions and a non existant PA. Not as bad as last year, but still not ideal.

Also a big thankyou to the Ashfield track staff, who did a great job in turning what must have been a quagmire this morning, into a rideable surface.

The scorecard can be found at the Unofficial Glasgow Speedway site.



Richard Lawson gives Gary Beaton and Adam McKinna a lift round to the prize giving ceremony.

Cheers to 'mervejankefanclub' over at Easy Tiger for filling in the blanks with regards to the names of half the field yesterday.
