First up as always were the Auto pilots and it was Cameron Berry on his Cobra that took home maximum points and the top honours from Braydon Wheldon who took three second place finishes. Jenson Goodfellow finished the day third overall.

In the Junior 65 class top British Youth rider Finley Pickering was unstoppable all day claiming three wins from three starts ahead of series leader Connor Thompson who shared the runner up and third places finishes with Riley Butterworth with Thompson taking the nod with his 3-2-2 scorecard to Butterworths 2-3-3.

Cameron Berry in the Auto class on his Cobra was in great form

Finley Easton was the man to beat in the Small Wheel 85 category as he claimed a maximum points haul towards his championship effort. Harry Cartmel was runner up on the day and a last race runner up spot helped Kian Harkness to the final podium spot.

Liam Johnston carried on his winning ways in the Big Wheel 85 class by taking all three wins ahead of runner up Joe Dakin. Jacob Hayes finished a couple of points off and ended up finishing third overall.

Two wins and a third was enough for Oliver Barr to take the overall victory in the Youth Open category after some solid battles all day. Kerr Thomson took the first moto win which helped him to runner up overall and Brad Knowles had his gap in the championship cut slightly as he took third on the day.

In the Adult C Under 30 class Jamie Leake was the overall winner with two wins and a second from last race winner Liam Kelly who finished runner up on the day. The third spot on the day went to the Honda man Thomas Lawrence.

Duncan Bell was the maximum man in the Adult C Over 30 category after some good battling all day with Graeme Bird who was close to a moto win but in the end, had to settle for three runner up spots. Steven Parker rounded off the top three in third.

It was Dale O’Connor who was the overall winner in the Adult B class with two wins and a second spot ahead of Andy Craig who took the first race win but a puncture in the final race halted his fight for the victory. Todd Ingham was just a point further back in third.

In the Adult A class Graham Riley took the overall honours with two wins and a second from Frazer Clark who took his Suzuki to a final race victory on his way to runner up overall. Kieran Marr took a brace of hard-fought third-place finishes for third overall.

Sunday was a different ball game with torrential rain making the track very wet and slippery and only 2 blocks of racing were run due to the lap scorers unable to see the numbers on the bikes.

The Autos got the wettest of the weather as they hit the track just as the rain came and it was Cameron Berry that took the overall ahead of Jenson Goodfellow in second spot and Braydon Wheldon finished the day in third place overall.

Next up were the Junior 65 pilots with Finley Pickering dominating the day in the slippery conditions taking a pair of wins from runner up Connor Thomson who goes into the final 2 rounds in August with a comfy gap. Third spot went to Brooklyn Tinkler.

In the Small Wheel 85 category, Finley Easton doubled up on the wins and took maximum points from Harry Cartmel in second while Jay Jackson took the final podium spot in third.

Liam Johnston kept his 100% win rate up in the Big Wheel 85 class as he took another maximum points haul. Jacob Hayes couldn’t quite hang onto the back of the number 5 machine and had to settle for another runner up spot while Ripley Carters 5-3 results were enough to give him third overall.

Brad Knowles number 19 in the Youth Open class

Kerr Thomson may very well have taken the series lead of the Youth Open category as he took his 125 KTM to a pair of race victories. Samuel Carruthers is improving each time out and took the runner up spot with second and third place finishes. Grace Richards rounded out the top three in third.

In the Adult C Under 30 class Jamie Leake took the victory ahead of the 511 machine of Liam Kelly who goes into the final rounds with a slight advantage over Callum Riley who took third on the day.

It was Steven Parker taking the win in the Adult C Over 30 class ahead of runner up on the day Mike MacGillway. Rounding out the top three was Mike Johnston.

Frazer Clark 222 and Graham Riley 711 in the Adult A class

In the Adult B category, Andy Craig consolidated his series lead with a 1-1 scorecard in the mud. Todd Ingham was runner up both times out while Charlie Leach finished the day third overall.

Graham Riley was undefeated in the Adult A class taking both moto wins convincingly. Frazer Clark finished the day runner up after finishing tied on points with Kieran Marr who had to settle for third once again.
