2010 Round 2 - Benniworth Basin

Benniworth Basin – East Coast Off Road Club. 18^th April 2010

Motocross riders, and particularly their accompanying supporters, across the Country must have had trouble believing it was only April this Sunday. Certainly at Benniworth Basin in the middle of the Lincolnshire countryside, the East Coast Off Road Club event basked in warm sunshine throughout the morning and early afternoon. Fears of dust were allayed on arrival – the track had been well watered in the previous evening and early morning and stood up well to a full day’s hard racing.

The Youth class kicked off the day’s racing, which saw a three-race tussle between Dean Hakes and Tom Doughty, with Hakes taking the honours on the day with two wins, while the third podium place went to Tom Ramsay.

A class for the older rider was introduced to the Club Championship this season, with the 35-40 year olds racing with, but scoring separately from the “Vets”. The 35-40 year old’s class was dominated by Darren Reed, with three first place finishes. While the Vets saw some great racing beween Richard Corner and Richard Thompson, with Corner taking two of the three first places of the day.

The younger riders were also well represented with small and big wheel 85s racing hard. The small wheel class was won by Troy Willerton, with three wins on the day, while Lewis Wigger and Matt Brame shared second and third places. In the Big-wheel competition, Ryan Hooks won two of the three races to take first overall

As is the case at many meetings, the Novice class attracted the most entrants with a full gate. Mark Collins was rewarded with the most consistently well placed finishes with a first overall, while Tim Goy took the second place trophy having completed just two races but in third and then first places respectively.

The best of the MX1 and MX2 riders were the next to race, with Expert and A class riders keeping the spectators attention firmly on the battles on the track. In the MX1 class Sebastian Osborne retained the overall honours having taken two race wins, but being pushed to second place by Jamie Smith in the third. A crash at the start of the third thwarted Anthony Reville’s complete dominance of the MX2 race allowing “A” class rider Josh Fytche to take the first place trophy on the day.

The final races were the B Class riders, with the MX1 trophy going to Sam Chapman who secured three race wins. The MX2 class saw Ben Rollinson also take three first places, though the third went to the final lap when he overtook Sam Bradley who had led the majority of the race.

With no major disruptions, other than a 20 minute break after the first moto for distribution of the 2009 Championship trophies, this was yet another highly successful and well organised meeting from the East Coast Off Road Club.

The next meeting will be on 9^th May at Salters’ Lane track near Louth. Details, registration and directions at www.eastcoastmx.co.uk.
