Jack Bell was once again in scintillating form in the Flat Track class winning all of his heat races and the final. Paul Cooper claimed second in the final over Ted Wilkinson.

Wilkinson would get his revenge however in the Pitbike class where he stormed to a full house of victories including the final which saw Paddy Moore in second and Bell third.

Bell however would back up his Flat Track win by going unbeaten in the MX/Dirtbike category. In the final Jonathan Dowd was the runner up with Adam Nicholls third. Will Curtis was the lone Vintage rider and put in some great rides against the more modern machinery.

Luke Potter powered to the Super Comp victory fending off Darius Zbyrowski in second and Jamie Kimber in third.

Potter was back at it again in the Street Tracker category where took maximum points in the heats before beating Sam Shock (2nd) and Scott Thompson in the final.

Odgie Danaan had a flyer in the Vintage Flat Track Final and kept Jon Dyer and Nick Rock at bay.

There wasn’t a Junior one final due to an injured rider cutting the racing short but with four heat wins Ryan Ingram thoroughly deserved the win on points. Mya Harris finished second and Travis Dowd rounded out the podium in third.

Paddy Moore and Wyatt Hopkins went at it again in the Junior 2 category sharing the wins between them, but in the final Hopkins rode a stormer to take the victory over Moore with Lane Tildesley finishing the day with the number three spot in the final.

The heat wins were shared between three riders in the Ladies class, with Erin Dyer taking the chequers twice, and both Rachel Pledge and Jamie Kimber tasting victory once each. When it came down to the final though the victory went the way of Dyer over Pledge with Kimber in third.

Dan Thompson had the bit between his teeth in the Pitbikes and blitzed the field with a clean sheet in the heats and a win in the final over Simon Field and Sean Seddon

Andrew Walker started the day on fire in the Inappropriate class but faded towards the end when Karl Hancock came to the fore to win the final over Jake Staniforth and Tom Batham.
