Mid-Antrim 150
Great shame had to be cancelled this weekend due to protest damage to the course.

Not the first time the MD150 has been sabotaged.

I suspect there's a long running dispute between some locals and the organisers. Obviously, someone didn't want it to run. 

Shame it cannot get resolved as it'll end up another one that's gone into the memory banks.

RE: Mid-Antrim 150
I suspect the whole story is not being told, some vital details missing in relation to the Queen's death and certain elements who see the running of the races at this time as disrespectful (in their view).
All the marshals wore black armbands and practice/qualifying was delayed until after the nationwide bell ringing at noon.
=====================

Long live real road racing!!

Looks like the mid antrim is going to fade into the visit history books
