Friday evening's Eite League Speedway match at the Arena-Essex\Raceway between the Lakeside Hammers and Wolverhampton was called off less than two hours before the expected start time due to the track being waterlogged.
Despite rain in the area for most of the day the Arena-Essex Raceway had remained dry until heavy rain hit the track around 5.45pm. After just 15 minutes the track had large puddles on it and the Club were faced with no option but to call the match off.
This decision proved to be the correct one as the rain continued past the due start time and resulted in racing not being possible.
The Hammers next home meeting is scheduled for Friday 20th June when the Hammers will face the Peterborough Panthers in the Elite League Knockout Cup.
