WEST MEON REPORT
Report by Kay Turner
With strong winds
and driving rain during the night threatening to cancel Portsmouth Motocross
Clubs second round of their Summer series, riders still arrived in their masses
to a soggy West Meon track recently. 220
competitors were eager to tackle the slippery circuit, and all bravely put on a
great show for the watching spectators.
With nearly 50 Inter Open riders
signed in, the double line up procedure was put into force.
Enduring knee-deep mud in the final block, Rob Muscat made it look easy
and took full control to snap up three wins, and overall victory.
James Rutter stayed in close contention, and with improving results
throughout the day, he finished second overall, a second in the last race his
best result. Mathew Bayliss secured
third overall, consistent high finishes ensuring he passed the chequered flag
just behind the leaders.
Closing his first race with a win,
Lloyd Pettett remained well in contention with the front runners, finishing
second in his second race to finish fourth overall.
Gareth Padgett remained consistent and tackled the course with ease, two
fifths and a fourth rewarding him with fifth overall.
A brilliant opening race saw Jack Bachelor passing the finish line in
second place and with two further top ten placings, sixth overall was finally
rewarded.
Snatching the last race win rewarded
Billy Hare with the overall victory in the Inter 85 class.
Battling hard throughout the day at the front of the pack ensured him
high placings. A welcome return to
Oliver Osmaston, who after having to sit out for so long due to injury, came
back with a vengeance and executed a great first race to finish in first.
Two top three results added to his win awarded him second overall.
Fraser Viner stayed hot on the pace, closing down the leaders, finishing
in second twice to secure him third overall.
Christopher Bayliss fought constantly
throughout the meeting with Jordan Bachelor, both riders achieving the equal
results, a fourth, fifth and sixth, but Bayliss grabbed the higher fourth
overall due to his fourth in the final moto.
A feisty and impressive performance from Jordan Bachelor resulted in him
finishing in fifth overall, passing the flag in fourth in moto two just behind
the leaders. David Roberts closed
the top six, with three consistent top ten results, and an impressive, stylish
ride rewarded him sixth overall.
Joshua Coleman returned to the top of
the tree in the Junior class, resuming first place in the final moto to take the
overall lead, two second places adding extra valuable championship points to his
tally. Jake Deacon rode another set
of impressive races, taking over top spot in race two to finish second overall.
Jamie Carpenter continued his remarkable run of high scores and remained
at the front of the pack throughout the meeting, two fourths and a third
awarding him third overall.
Remaining high up the leader board,
Taylor Smith continued his dominance in the class, finishing fourth overall, a
great fourth in race two upping his points tally immensely.
Pushing himself to the limit in each race, Lewis Dowdeswell steered his
way into fifth overall, passing the chequers just narrowly behind smith in race
two. In his quest to reign supreme
within the Junior class, Josh Bunter rode consistently throughout the meeting to
finish well inside the top ten in all motos, finishing in sixth overall on the
day.
The Autos were next to race, and only
having to endure the first hill Olivier Cook sped extra fast past lapscoring to
secure three straight wins and the overall victory.
Jay Ellis remained a contender for Auto Champion, again scoring top three
positions, two second places rewarding him with second overall.
A brilliant second in race one ensured Ben Richards a high placing, a
third in the final moto secured him third overall.
As the track dried out later in the
day, Charlie Cole rode the track with ease, and with two fourth positions,
finished the day in fourth overall. Visiting
rider Troy Jones strove on through the muddy conditions, finishing in a
commendable fourth in race one to take fifth overall.
A great performance by Charlie Sturgess awarded him sixth overall,
passing the majority of the field in race three to pass the finish line in
sixth.
An awesome 40 AMX riders lined up to
decimate the track, with Wes Hallawell once again taking charge at the front of
the pack. Securing the first race
win, he finished overall victor, two hard-fought second places ensuring victory
was his. Battling through the front
of the pack, Justin Robinson rode a hard and powerful second race to snatch the
win, and took second overall. Race
three winner Luke Blanchard had a fight on his hands to stay at the front,
battling hard with his rivals, but with a third added to his points tally,
Blanchard finished third overall.
Paul Watts made a warm welcome return
to his old schoolboy club to carry on where he left off.
Remaining dominant at the front of the pack, two third placings steered
him into fourth overall. A great
second in race one bode well for Chris Southcott but stiff competition at the
front of the field pushed him further down the field.
Still managing to reel in two top further top ten positions left
Southcott in fifth overall. A great
sight to see Nicky Watts return to the Club after his horrific injury at
Tonymoto last year. Watts achieved
his highest position, replacing his 125 in the final moto for a 250, and passed
the line in sixth, taking sixth overall position on the day.
A great line-up of Veterans saw Shaun
Brooker reign supreme throughout the meeting, three straight, convincing wins
secured him overall victory. After
a first corner crash, an even more unfortunate collision in race one saw Paul
Williams thrown over the finish line but he picked himself up and pushed hard
for a win in the remaining motos. Two
second places ensured he finished in second overall.
Even with a very rare off, Alan Scott still managed to finish third
overall, clawing his way back to the front of the pack, finishing third, third
and fourth to end the day in the top three.
Consistent finishes for the riders in
fourth, fifth and sixth overall saw Shaun Skeates, Dave Lopez and Andy Watts all
ride past the chequered flag in the same position throughout the meeting.
Skeates finished in fourth with three fifth places, Lopez secured fifth
with three sixth places and Watts, donning the more prominent banana-coloured
kit, secured three seventh positions to finish in sixth overall.
A full line-up of Seniors made for
some exciting and bar-bashing action, and resulted in three different winners
throughout the day. Jackson Evans
rode impressively again throughout and snatched the first race win, and with a
second and fifth he finished overall victor.
Taking over the winners spot in race two, Oliver Rusby kept hard on the
pace throughout the races, battling hard with Reeves and managed to secure
second overall. Elliot was so close
to a win, and two gallant second places rewarded him with third overall.
Chris Bick must have been doing a rain
dance all meeting, as even though his first two race scores were respectable, he
saved the best for last in the horrendous hail/wind/rain-soaked third moto.
The King of Mud proved the soggy stuff is his forte, and stormed past the
chequered flag in first position, to secure fourth overall.
Jake Hassell high on his success from round one, continued in convincing
style, two fourth positions and impressive riding resulting in fifth overall
being awarded. An impressive and
dominant return by George Gough, three top ten positions proving this riders
true ability, and third in race two the pinnacle of his day, an outstanding
sixth overall his reward at the end of the day.
