Rain and wind made for tricky conditions at Rockingham Speedway this week for the 31 riders starting 2/3 scratch race, including 4 from RFW, Paul Beattie, Pete Bradshaw, Daniel Leverton and Brian Mosnak, The slippery surface took a small number of riders out early in the race, shortly followed by a winning break of 7 riders getting away. Paul Beattie managed to ride solo for a lap to bridge the gap to be break but the fierce pace after his big effort bridging proved too high and he dropped back to the bunch. Pete and Brian decided to pull out of as the conditions worsened. After the 7th breakaway rider also crashed, the bunch made a nervous sprint for 7th. Daniel Leverton took 2nd place in the sprint coming 8th overall, with Paul a few places behind.
