Mayday Mayhem awaits on Mayday Monday at Smeatharpe.  The 2 Litre National Bangers will race for the first time since late March, when they served up another brutal display of heavy crashing.  The Stock Rods are set for their first outing at Smeatharpe since the start of March and World Championship qualifying points are at stake for the Ladies Bangers as they contest The Devonshire Cup.  Following on from the qualifying phase at St Day, the Modstox will be chasing their first major title of the year, as the British Championship goes on the line.  This hugely exciting fixture has the makings of being one for the books.
