2010 Round 3 - Salters Lane

Salters Lane, Binbrook – East Coast Off Road Club. 9th May 2010

Motocross riders based in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire had plenty of events to choose from this weekend and well over a hundred riders elected to compete at the popular Salters Lane track with the East Coast ACU club. With just the right amount of rain over the week, the track was in race condition – good and sticky!

The Youth class kicked off the day’s racing, and was dominated across all three motos by the talented Bradley Ward, while Tom Ramsay rode impressively to three second places and Ashley Thompson took the third places. The apparently predictable results were, however, not an indication of a boring event – the racing was fast and spectacular.

The older riders were the next to the gate, with the 35-40 year olds racing with, but scoring separately from the “Vets”. The 35-40 year old’s class saw a clean sweep by Danny Blakeley. While the Vets saw a continuation of the competition between Richard (Tommo)Thompson and Richard Corner, but at this meeting Thompson was revenged for the last outing with three first places, while Iain Ramsay pushed Corner down to third.

In the small wheel 85 class Troy Willerton, notched up another 90 championship points and first place trophy with three wins on the day, while Hadley Stones and Matt Brame shared second and third places over the rapidly improving Ollie Ingall. In the fast paced big-wheel competition, the first five places were replicated in all three motos with Elliot Milburn taking top honours, followed by Tom Carlton and Toby Fincham.

The 39 strong novice class saw the reward for consistency go to Duncan Oliver who took first overall with three second place finishes. Recently self-demoted from the B class, Kevin Jude’s took the second place trophy while Tim Goy took the third podium place with two wins.

With an amalgamated race incorporating MX1 and MX2 racers of both Expert and A class, there was the opportunity for some spectacular and determined racing. The field was, however, dominated by Ryan Voase who walked away with the best of the prize money following three race wins. Danny Blakeley secured three second places.

The MX1 and MX2 B class riders were again amalgamated for the racing though scored separately and in the MX1 Damon Smith took the largest of the trophies with two first place finishes and James Archer’s consistent high finishes secured him just three points fewer and a clear second overall. The MX2 racers welcomed Adam Plumtree back to competitive riding and he was rewarded with a first overall for two very determined first place finishes. Nathan Clarke and Tom Ramsay finished on equal points, with the honours going to Clarke for the better finish in the third race.

With no major disruptions, only a brief shower and clever amalgamation of races, the day was finished in good time. This club is going from strength to strength with successful and well organised events at well prepared racing tracks, which are always greatly appreciated by the riders.

The next meeting will be on 23rd May at a new track for the club, Carter Hill. Details, registration and directions at www.eastcoastmx.co.uk.
