"This decision was taken with a great deal of regret but it was inevitable in light of the continuing threat to the countryside from foot and mouth disease. All of our efforts are now focused on the 2002 championship" stated TROA Chairman Tom Walsh.
Any remaining rounds of the championship which may run will run as individual events without Tarmac Championship status concluded Championship Manager Don Wilmont.
