Clay Bits

All in the Super 1 send deepest sympathies to Joshua Goodwin and his family after his
father Glyn Goodwin passed away suddenly just after the last round. Jimmy Galloway received an exclusion and endorsement from a heat, and decided to return home. Everyone wishes Max Chilton a speedy recovery from his heavy heat 2 accident. He suffered whiplash and bruising.
