Dusty start , boggy finish, describes the change of conditions at the Cornwall Solo Grass Track at Tregolds Farm, St Merryn on Sunday.

A heavy thunderstorm in the middle of the meeting did little to stop Jon Orchard continuing his impressive comeback, winning the 500cc and the Open events and finishing second to Exeter Speedway's Mark Simmonds in the Junior.

The expected challenge of Wayne Barrett disappeared after he suffered a series of falls, including on in the Experts event which dropped him to third place overall. Young man to watch out for is fifteen years old Clayton Chubb who won the 350cc and Invitation events.

In the sidecars, Matthew Tyrrell/Shaun Yates completed a double, firstly from Myles Simmons/Dave Hogan, secondly from South western visitors Ian McAuley/Darren Wilce. Local comedian, Johnny Cowling, kept his promise and completed four laps in the chair for Junior Phil Sims and in doing so raised £665 for a local baby care special unit.
