'Pre-'68 is coming' Hednesford Raceway Sun 30/9

I am planning on going to Hednesford for the Pre '68 meeting,probably would'nt make the dawn drive but breakfast sounds like a good idea,will it be at the cafe on the A5?
Oh and have a couple of pics of Solihulls finest!

OH HELLS YEAH!!!

are we dawn driving at all? - or keeping it simple with brekkie and hednesford action?

I'll be doing the PA commentary at Hednesford - will be nice to meet some of you and maybe snatch a quick interview

That's me in the picture about to receive "THAT MONSTER BREKKIE"
& i was full up from it for the rest of the day!
I might be tempted to come along again & sample another one as it is without doubt one of the finest greasy spoon breakfasts i've ever consumed!!
Tim.

Fnaaaarrrrr!!! Many happy returns BTW!! You enjoying your birthday pal?

hold fire with this at the mo kids the council are puttin the brakes on the bangers at the track for the mo
hopefully its sorted before the 30th


The following has just been posted on the Incarace website - can people please spread it around to save anyone wasted journeys. I have let all the booked-in drivers know.

This is down to the ongoing H&S investigation into the tragedy at Hednesford last September. While there are potentially serious implications to the future of Banger racing at all tracks, we are asking people not to get involved in contacting Cannock Chase Council as we are hopeful of reaching a sensible resolution as per the statement. Thank you.

"Due to restrictions currently being imposed on Bangers / National Bangers at Hednesford by Cannock Chase Council, we have had to take the decision to cancel the National Bangers from the programme for this Monday 27th August. The meeting will go ahead with the other formulas - the National Hot Rods, MASCARs and Ministox.

Cannock Chase Council is requiring that we do not permit drivers to get out of their cars during a Banger race. We are resisting this on the basis that it is considered that in some circumstances it is safer for a driver to exit if he/she feels unsafe, and in the interests of driver safety we do not want to make drivers feel compelled to stay in their cars when it may be in their interest to get out. We believe that decision must always rest with the driver who is best placed to assess the situation.

As we are committed to driver safety and do not feel that we can comply with the current requirements of Cannock Chase Council without putting our drivers at increased risk, we have taken the decision to cancel Banger racing at Hednesford Hills Raceway until further notice. We are hopeful of being able to reach a suitable compromise in due course and there is ongoing dialogue between parties.

The National Banger Pre-68 meeting scheduled for 30th September will not be cancelled, but may need to be moved. The worst case scenario is that we would have to move this to Northampton on the same date, but again we are hopeful that we will reach a suitable compromise with Cannock Chase Council and will be able to recommence Banger racing at Hednesford Hills very soon.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience."

I can't see that Cannock Chase DC have any jurisdiction on this matter. HSE maybe, but not the council

Brekkie at the Hollies always seems to be a good shout .
