Autos hit the track first seeing Jimmy Ball claim 3rd overall in the class. He went 5,3,4. Mason Staddon was the runner up in what was a very talented 50cc class. Such a great display of riding from Staddon and 3 great results of 2,2,2. The man to beat though was Tommy Wood who showed his class how it was done. He was on hot form and so we saw a 1,1,1 from him
Marty spires was incredible in the 65cc class. 3 easy wins went his way on the day. Harley Ince came in just behind just lacking what was needed for a win but showing off his complete riding skills. He cruised his way to a second overall (2,2,2). John Slade was very consistent on the day and with results of 3,3,3 he rounded off the podium.
Lilly Senior giving the boys a run for their money!
Marley Alder was looking good back from his recent injury in the Small wheel 85 class. 2,1,1 was what he managed to pluck out of the draw on Saturday to claim first. Toby Bond and Bobby Farmer battled it out for podium spots and they succeeded. Bond got second and Farmer rounded out the podium with a 3rd place overall.
Big Wheel 85’s were up next with a clean sweep Kai Thorpe who took first place on the podium with results of 1,1,1. Fabian Junior Morrison claimed second spot on the day after going 2,6,2 with some dazzling riding skills. Third spot went to number Jacob Francis with his solid and consistent riding efforts. Results of 3,3,4 saw him take home third. Alfie Payne was in and around the front 3 all day but 7th in the first race meant he just missed out.
Ashden Barlow was in front of the Rookies pack. He went 1,1,1 for the overall and was unbeatable on the day. Tyler Kirby had a nightmare in race 2 which left the door open for Joe Cracknell to swoop in and claim second overall (4,2,4). There was so much competition in the Youth class meaning that third could’ve been anybody. Levi Saunders was eventually the one to take it home after (7,3,3)>
Some great racing happened in the Mx1 with Liam Garland and Charlie Way battling it out for the win. It was Garland who was successful in claiming the win but Way did give it his best shot. He did more than enough to gain second overall. Luke Kennet was a little bit behind but he went 3,3,3 with some calm and consistent riding to claim 3rd.
A dominant return from Charlie Way who powered his way into the top three all weekend
In the VMX, the reigning champion, Mark Morris put in three fantastic motos (1,1,1). He was unbeatable all day and even though Brad Aspden had a brand new bike he couldn’t get anywhere near Morris out on track. Morris walked away with a first overall and maximum points on the board for the championship. Aspden came in second with 2,2,2. He was followed by Roger Frean who went home with 3rd after his results of 3,3,3.
Mx2 was led by the incredible Luke southern. It was a tough class but Southern had it covered and won all 3 motos !! Josh Bassett put in some great races and although his results were not consistent he did enough to claim second (6,4,2). Tom Chesterman also wasn’t consistent throughout the day but his final result helped him claw a podium place. He went 7,7,3
