"SUNNY SIDE UP"
After weeks of snow and rain RYMXC had perfect racing conditions for round two of the club championships at the Saints Well track on Sunday. With the track in perfect condition, fully rotovated and harrowed, Adam Rees did a great job which gave the spectators some great racing all day.
The Autos kicked off the racing and Harry "Hasbo" Edmondson took three strong wins in fine style. Billy Jones using the big wheels for the first time gave Harry a hard time in race two with some close racing, and Shauna "The Sheep" Hope making it onto the podium in fine style giving the Hope posse plenty to cheer on.
Next up were the Juniors and Alex "Bubba" Walton putting on a fine display of fast technical riding taking all three races at warp speed. Two points separated Iwan Roberts and Callum Evans at the end of the day and they were that close on the track, racing side by side in all races - great show.
The small wheels saw Jack "Fast Eddy" Edmondson totally dominate with race wins, making the Suzuki sing around the Saints Well valley. Ieuan Morgan came close in a couple of races but crashes held him back giving granddad Tony plenty of practice with the spanners!. William Jones has now lost his "Wild Will" nickname as he put in three smooth races to take third on his new Honda.
Daniel Griffiths was on another planet in the big wheels and the season is looking great for Dan with three gate to chequer wins. Kairon Watkins has spent the winter practising and boy can you tell as Kairon has upped his game taking a strong second. New kid on the block Harry Clarke had great day in his first race taking third.
For 2010 RYMXC has split the Seniors into two stroke and four stroke to make it more affordable for club members.
Dean Plumstead put on a great show in the two stroke seniors with three strong wins and giving the four strokes a run for their money. Girl power in second with new member Tanisha Thomas showing the boys how it’s done with three strong seconds. Most improved rider in class must go to Ryan Nicholls with strong come-through-the pack rides to take third.
Adam Morris was in superb form on the new 250 Honda in the Senior fourstroke with some very smooth riding making it look effortless round the track. Gareth Hughes kept Adam honest in race two and three with some great close racing with second overall for his day’s work. Dave Lloyd had to work hard all day as his usual mount was in the workshop - he used an older Yamaha enduro bike with great skill to take third on the day.
Wyn Hope took out the new 150 KTM in the Adult 150 two stroke class and blew all the youngsters away with strong wins in all races. Master Adam Rees took second on the day, trying to catch Hopey at every opportunity. Spencer Eve who has moved up from the Seniors finished third
Gas Gas UK rider Ashley Wood took the Adult 250 class with some spirited riding with two race wins and a second. Wayne Price won the first race on the 250 KTM and gave Ashley a run for his money with some strong come-from-behind rides. Julian Eckley is coming back from some bad breaks last year and come back he did with third overall - "great ride."
Another Gas Gas UK rider, Charlie Evans, took first place in the Adult Open class on the 300 two stroke gasser which was looking cleaner than it had the previous weekend in Thetford forest for the British Enduro Championship. Cool Chris Morris took second on the day, also taking the second race from Charlie with some smooth riding on the 450 Suzuki. Mark Evans on the other 450 Suzuki took third after damaging his knee in race two and riding through the pain
