Big wheels were first out on the freshly graded circuit. It was like a carpet in practice. Casey Kennett was looking for the win but third was the best he conjured over the day. He went 3,3,3. Fabian Junior was also in the mix and even won the last race. This wasn’t enough to beat Ashton Somerville. Whilst Morrison had to settle with Second overall Somerville went home with the first place spot.
Mark Morris was back to winning ways in The Veterans class. After a poor round last time out he swept up and won all 3 motos. It’s definitely shaping up to be another fantastic season for Morris. Brad Humphrey went to 2,2,2 second on the day. Darren often rounded out the podium after 4,5,3.
Mx1 was taught in a masterclass by Travis Reynolds. An easy 1,1,1 for the youngster on his 450. Jake Strange went 3,2,2 which was just enough to bag him second. Jordan Carrier was the last name in the top three.
Luke Southern was yet again on fire in the MX2 class. The young lad seems to be unbeatable and we get to see someone contest him this season. He won all three motos for first overall. Tom Chesterman was a distant second and had lots of work to do to make sure he beat Ricky Carter. Chesterman made sure he came in 2nd. Carter came third.
Tyler Kirby showed the Rookies how it was done on day two at Culham. An easy one 1,1,1 for the championship leader meant that he could go home with maximum points. Sonny Shipton was again towards the front and went 2,2,5 to seal the deal on second overall. Joe Cracknell was quiet but still inside the top three and 3,4,3 was enough to make sure he was on the steps.
The Autos were led by Tommy Wood. His results of 1,1,1 were absolutely breathtaking. Heeley Coyne was right up there in the auto class and the riding on display was eye-catching to say the least! Coyne took second. Austin Edwards debatably could’ve come second but a six place in the last moto meant he had to settle for third.
The 65s top six were just incredible to watch. The top four however were the most consistent on the day. Charley Mitchell came fourth after 4,4,4. Arthur King came third after 3,3,3. The top two are close together but yet again they were also consistent throughout all three motos. Archie Stapley came second while Casey Lister came first.
The Small wheels rounded off another extravagant day of racing with Portsmouth. Marley Alder swept up all 3 motos; clinched the overall and maximum points in the club standings. The rest of the podium was open to the whole field of riders. Toby Bond went 2,8,3 to secure second overall. Spencer Newman went 4,3,5 to establish his place in third.
