This season the UMX series has been struggling to attract the entries of previous years. This is mainly in the solo class and whether this is down to financial constraints or just too much choice of where to ride is not known but is probably a bit of both. As far as the sidecar class is concerned half of the six advertised dates clash with other meetings. However round 2 which was held at Ringmer, East Sussex, was a great success. Although the 62 solo entries was only a fraction of entries of the past it was a great improvement of the predicted numbers and with 23 sidecars plus 11 quads the meeting was on. The Crawley & District MCC wishes to thank all the competitors for enabling the club to host the event. The club itself needs to be thanked for a slick well run meeting with a well prepared track which lead to some excellent racing to entertain the spectators and riders alike.
