Factory Phil cashes in at Culham! C.T Events Open Meeting – Race Report and Results

C.T Events brought down the curtain on their 2020 season by pooling their Acerbis Amateur Nationals and Cumbria Twinshock resources to put on an epic two-day open meeting at Culham at the weekend.

With the sun out and the temperature at 23 degrees all weekend, the track team did a great job to keep the track well-graded, watered and prime for two days full of racing.

Such was the demand for spaces the Modern classes were split between A+, A, B, and C.

With some major events cancelled the Modern A+ attracted a stellar line up of racers. John Adamson made his long trip down from Scotland worthwhile, blasting in with the wins in the opening two motos on his Gabriel KTM before the Chambers Racing Husqvarna of Jake Millward broke the deadlock to take the moto three chequers. Adamson was back at the front in race four but the Cab Screens Deos Group Honda racer Dan Thornhill put in a great ride to fire in with the fifth and final moto victory. Overall though it was Adamson who would stand on the top step of the podium over Thornhill and Millward. Another Chambers Racing rider Tom Grimshaw would take fourth with five solid motos over the weekend. Oli Benton was impressive in fifth with Ashton Dickinson on the Craigs Templant KTM in sixth.

Jake Millward

Dylan Spencer continued his successful move to a 4 banger by winning the Modern A class, but Aaron Patstone will feel hard done by after winning four of the five motos only to succumb to a lower scoring moto two which would relegate him to second overall. Sam Gabriel would edge out Toby Avis for the final podium spot.

Dylan Spencer

Alfie Calvert came up trumps in the Modern B category with one moto win to his name while Arnis Paberzs with three moto victories would finish second with Hayden Stevens third. Tye Stevens saved his best to last and would take the chequers in the final moto.

Sam Gabriel

In the Modern C’s it was Charlie Reynolds with the victory with a triple dose of moto wins. Jack Raybould with five consistent races was second from moto three victor Jamie Collins in third. Luke Price would win out in Moto four and would come fourth.

Becca Newham

The Evo race was split between a few different categories. Factory Phil Mercer on an immaculate KTM won the Super Evos pushed hard all weekend by Callum Bircher who won the Evo Open Class. Sam Russell would go through the card in the WME group, while Steve Gardham was the top dog in the Evo 125’s.

Harvey Cashmore

Harvey Cashmore and Matt Nash battled it out for the Twinshock win with Cashmore getting the better of his rival 4-1 for the overall and Expert victory. In the Twinshock sub sections Steve Morgan maxed out in the Inters, Mark Burrows was the lone wolf in the 125’s, Martin Snape reigned supreme in the Over 60’s, Alister Welsby was untouchable in the Clubman and Jim Shand fought off Ivfor Gildford to win the Over 50’s.

Callum Bircher

In the Modern Vets Paul Williams went 1-1-1-1-2 for the over 40’s win ahead of Steve Gesnier and Tony Hale, while Bruce Garside with the race two win under his belt took the overall in the over 50’s from Paul Willis who although winning four moto’s scored no points in the second moto had to settle for second overall. Rob Lewis was third.

Paul Williams

Sunday finished with a fun Grand National where riders stood behind the start gate and ran the full start straight to their waiting bikes. Tom Grimshaw took the honours in the six-lap race.
