BERE REGIS – 18^th May 2008

Portsmouth Motocross Club

Summer Series Round 7

Bere Regis in Dorset was the setting for Portsmouth Motocross Clubs seventh round of their Summer Club Championship.  With the track being constantly watered, the 125 riders who arrived were hoping for a minimal amount of dust, but glorious sunshine all day meant the dust reared its ugly head to cause problems around the track.

 

            Roaring out of the start gate to commence proceedings were the VMX.  With exciting racing guaranteed, Paul Williams took such an early lead he left the rest of the pack miles behind, and secured three impressive wins to take the overall.  A group of riders pursued with Alan Scott being the next man in line.  Battling hard with various riders he soon slotted neatly into second spot in all three motos to take second overall.  Shaun Skeates once again remained consistent near the front of the pack, two third places assuring third overall was his.

            With two months to go until he could return to racing, Martin Bradbury donned his gear and boots, unloaded the Yamaha, and gave the V-sign to a full recovery from his injury and sat waiting on the startline.  Taking it easy and letting the rest of the pack go, he rapidly picked off one rider after another to head straight into the top ten with ease.  By race two he was powering hard to pass even more riders to slot into fourth spot, and pushed himself a bit harder to move into third in the last.  Fourth overall on his return to racing after eight months sitting on the sidelines wasn’t a bad effort, and riders should be wary of when he comes back fully fit and actually tries!!  Neil Jenkinson was back on fine form as the dust started flying.  Chopping and changing positions with the top boys saw Jenkinson finishing well ahead of the rest of the pack in fourth in motos one and three to secure fifth overall.  After tucking himself neatly into third in the closing race, Martin Turner remained consistent only marginally dropping back a place or two to finish fifth, fifth and sixth to finish sixth overall.

 

            With dust still hanging in the air, the AMX boys stormed off for another day of brilliant showmanship by all involved.  Even with only a small number of riders, the action was jam-packed with Sean Lock and Tom Moore putting on a great show at the front.  Lock appeared completely unbeatable, stretching his lead in the opening motos to grab the wins to take the overall victory.  But Moore was determined to grab a win for himself and a smooth pass over the finish line left him leading the way with three laps to go.  His hard work earned him second overall.  Peter Herring proved his capability on the track, and with improving results throughout the day, ending the day on a high in third, secured third overall.

            Impressive and extremely rapid starts ensured Chris Southcott was always out of the gate first, and his prominent figure near the front of the field ensured high placings.  A fourth and third provided vital points to ensure a place in the top six, but disaster on the last lap of the final race blew his chances of placing higher.  Having to push the bike over the line due to mechanical gremlins left him reeling in 11^th place, but his earlier races secured him fourth overall.  On equal points with Southcott, Scott Wallis revelled in the dusty conditions to finish high up the leader board.  A set of steady but persistent rides secured Wallis fifth overall, crossing the line in fifth, seventh and fourth.  Wes Thomas deservedly finished in sixth overall after an impressive ride throughout the day.  Pushing all his previous bad luck behind him, he rode confidently and assertively to keep well within reach of the front runners.  He kept on the gas in the final moto to pass the chequered flag in fifth, a truly deserved reward.

 

            Once the Seniors flew out the gate, the dust had no chance to settle. With bikes and bodies flying in all directions, the racing hotted up as did the temperature on the track.  Jono Parker-Davies was a clear winner, a perfect and impressive set of races awarding him with three wins to take the overall.  Jake Hassell fought hammer and tongs to work his way into second overall, non-stop battles with the front-runners inspiring him to step up the pace to grab two second places.  A brilliant performance by Tom White saw him lead the final moto until he had to finally succumb to Parker-Davies.  But with two brilliant third places, he safely took home third overall.

            A brilliant performance from Kristian Barry left him flying high near the front runners, a highly commendable third in race two the highlight of his day, and his high scoring secured him fourth overall.  With the track recently watered in the second block, Chris Bick grabbed the chance to exult in the mud to stay well ahead of his rivals and finished in second.  Persistent finishes in his other races and the high points achieved in race two secured him fifth overall.  Jake Myers rode magnificently throughout the meeting, remaining ahead of the majority of the field for the last two races.  Having his work cut out trying to keep a rampaging Josh Scott from grabbing his placings he just held his positions to finish in 13^th, fifth and fourth to grab sixth overall, just one point ahead of Scott.

 

            The Inter Open class took to the track where battle commenced between Daniel Maxey and Darren Wingar.  Maxey narrowly missed out on a straight set of wins after crashing heavily with Wingar who took the lead and the win.  But Maxey grabbed the lead back in the remaining motos and took home the overall win.  Successfully grabbing his 11^th holeshot in a row, Darren Wingar kept Maxey well within his sights but rode sensibly to finish in runner-up spot after his impressive opening win to secure second overall.  Another great performance from Jack Scarlett who continued to impress, his results highlighting his determination to achieve top spot.  Effortless passing rewarded him with a fourth, third and third to secure him third overall.

            Desperate to remain close to the leaders, David Bowen’s starts bode well for high placings throughout the meeting, showing his face at the front of the field from when the gate dropped.  A third and two fourths ensured fourth overall was his.  An impressive ride from Marley Willegers secured him fifth overall, pushing himself to the limit, and was awarded eighth, fifth and fifth to finish one place ahead of Kieran Gabriele.  Gabriele’s perseverance and diligence paid off in every race, just narrowly missing out on three top six placings toward the end of the day.  But a brilliant fifth and sixth rewarded his efforts with sixth overall.

 

            The Junior class were next to go with Jake Deacon a clear winner, dominating the front of the field and passed the chequered flag as victor in all three races to take the overall win.  Oliver Evans was on top form throughout the meeting, riding a perfect final moto to step up a place into second and ended the day in second overall.  Josh Bunter was hot on the heels of Deacon in the opening motos, closing him down to finish in second in both races.  Even a slight hitch in race three didn’t deter him from finishing within the top six and he ended the meeting in third overall.

            A confident performance from Taylor Smith placed him high up the leader board throughout the meeting, saving the best for last to pass the finish line in third.  Adding a fourth and fifth to his points tally he took home fourth overall.  Matthew Dowse had a brilliant day on the track, convincing finishes leaving him well ahead of his rivals.  A fifth and two fourths gave Dowse him fifth overall.  Just grabbing sixth overall, Taylor Hammal finished on the same points as Jordan Kittow, but Hammal’s last gasp effort to push himself into fifth in the final moto awarded him the higher position.

 

            Although the hilly track was daunting for the young Autos, they all tackled the track with determination.  Olivier Cook made it look easy and led from start to finish to snatch all three wins to take home the overall victory.  Jay Ellis battled throughout the day with Jake Parker whose unfortunate mechanical gremlins left him out of the overall placings.  But Ellis kept hard on the gas, putting a crash behind him to battle on, and with an impressive last race second took second overall.  After such an undeserved ninth in race one, Danny Paige took the bit between his teeth and strove hard to the front of the pack, grabbing two thirds to secure third overall.

            Keeping well in touch with the leading trio Ben Richards kept his cool in the rising heat to snatch another high placing, two well-executed fourth places adding valuable points to his tally to leave him in fourth overall.  Liam “hardman” Jones deserved the award for most persevering rider on the day. The opening race saw him bouncing hard on the final lap on the whoops which left him kissing the dirt but he still pushed the bike across the line to finish in fifth.  Minutes later an unconscious Liam was being carted away to hospital in the ambulance. To everyone’s surprise Jones re-appeared for the remaining motos finishing in a gallant sixth and fifth to reward himself with fifth overall.  Charlie Cole should have placed higher but an unfortunate last race which left him trailing at the back didn’t highlight his capability of riding, race two proving the point as he finished in second.  A commendable sixth overall was awarded.

 

            The Inter 85s were the last group to go, and with the unfortunate early exit to hospital for race one winner Billy Hare, David Roberts took complete control of the group.  With a clear lead he impressively won the remaining motos to take the overall victory.  Dusting himself off after a nasty crash on the whoops, Michael Denton did an impressive and unchallengeable job of staying ahead of his rivals, a second in the final moto securing him second overall.  Visitor James Ford kept on the pace to keep near the leaders, a second and third rewarding his efforts with third overall.

            Rapidly improving with every race, Daniel Lawler proved he has got what it takes to ride at the head of the pack.  Brilliantly keeping his nerve to stay in second place for a number of laps ensured high placings were on the cards, and with two fourths and an excellent third in moto two rewarded his efforts with fourth overall.  Jack Cooper stayed focused throughout the meeting, holding off his rivals with true grit, stepping on the gas in the final moto to move into fifth place to finish fifth overall.  A gallant effort from Ryan Deick who could have placed higher, as his second moto proved, finishing in fifth.  An unfortunate spill on the final corner lost him a valuable couple of places but still rode well throughout the day to finish in sixth overall.
