As is the norm the Youth Race kicked off the day on Sunday morning with blue skies with a Race time of 1.5 hrs, Oliver Pinder and Jake Best battled it out in the 250cc Hybrid Class with Ethan taking top spot and Oliver 2nd.
The 250cc saw Charlie Wheatley and Cai Evans swapping places at the front until a small mistake from Cai dropped him back and Charlie was able to pull clear. It remained that way for the rest of the race and it was Charlie who took the win from Cai in 2nd and James Maybury in 3rd.
In the 125cc class a return for Alix Edmed-Callaway after missing Round 2 saw her take an early lead and eventually complete 6 laps winning the 125 class from Jamie Burnett in 2nd and Jake Robson in 3rd.
The Mini Quad class was back again with a good mix of entries, a class for 8-13 years which caters for 50cc riders, 90cc riders and 100cc open riders over a shorter 30 minute course, and there were lots of eager youngsters ready to Race!
The 100cc class saw some new faces and after 30 minutes of racing Joseph Hayes was the winner on his debut with Stephen Collins 2nd and Liam McGowan 3rd.
In the 90cc class Izzy Lloyd took her first win from Luke Waddington in 2nd and Tyler Willcock made it 2 from 2 in the 50cc class.
The afternoons Adult racing got underway just after midday in perfect conditions but with the threat of showers possibly mid race which could make things interesting for the riders.
The Experts and Expert Plus class combined and it was the returning Weston Beach Race Champion Jamie Morgan who led away from Alex Bethell in 2nd. Alex pushed him hard in the opening laps but Jamie held the lead and pushed on setting fastest laps each time, it remained that way until the end with Jamie taking the win from Alex both with 14 laps with Joshua Waring in 3rd.
In the Expert class it was Jim Evans in 1st from Will Dunlop in 2nd and Michael Williams in 3rd a reverse of the Round 2 Result.
Tom Stevens was back on the top step in the clubman class with Ben Roberts in 2nd and an impressive 3rd for Moose Pittaway.
Jake Best went one better this round and took the sportsman class win from Jack Evans in 2nd Liam Griffiths 3rd.
Harry Stevens made it 3 from 3 in the 4×4 Lights with Neil Martin in 2nd Shaun Wealleans 3rd.
In the 4×4 Clubman class it was a packed field with some new names at the front, Kevin Watson was the winner and also an impressive 3rd overall with Dean Jones 2nd and Laura Linton 3rd.
The 4×4 expert class was as competitive as always, problems for Simon David and Jason Wildman ruled them out of the podium places after some extremely close racing with both lapping within ½ a second of each other, it was Stuart Marley who capitalised to take the win from Graham Guy in 2nd and Nick Key 3rd .
Well done to all the winners today and each rider who took part.
