Silkolene 2 stroke – Saturday

After qualifying 1^st & 3^rd Noble & Parker were hungry for success but as the first race got underway neither of them made a good start on their 500 steelies. The racing was frantic with Eastwood, Edmonds, Walkley, Parker and Noble all battling for supremacy but by mid race it was Parker who hit the front. Noble was struggling to get to grips with the 500 but managed to force his way through to 2^nd a couple of laps from the end and a small mistake by Parker coming through the whoops at the start of the last lap saw Noble nip through for the win.

Race 2 saw Noble make a decent start and after a couple of laps he took the lead with Parker back in mid pack, but carving his way through the field. However his progress was halted when his back brake pedal snapped in two and he was left to struggle home in 9^th with Noble cruising to an easy win.

Race 3 saw one of the closest finishes ever recorded as once again the two riders made poor starts and had to fight their way through the field. Willet, who was back after an eleven month lay off and who hadn’t really featured in the first two races made a blistering start and was clearing off in front as Noble and Parker struggled to dispose of the likes of Eastwood and Edmonds and by the time Noble made his way through to second Willet had a 9 second lead and looked safe. Noble had other ideas and charged after the Yamaha man catching him on the very last corner and making an audacious pass to win by just 7 hundredths of a second. Parker followed the pair home for 3^rd which wasn’t quite good enough to join his teammate on the overall podium missing out by just 1 point.

Red Bull Pro Nationals – Sunday

The lads were full of confidence as they went into Sunday qualifying and it showed as Noble posted 3^rd quickest with Parker just behind in 5^th.

Race 1

Parker made a great start in 2^nd place with Noble a few places behind and after the first few laps Noble had progressed to 2^nd with Parker looking comfortable in 5^th. Noble set off in pursuit of Anderson but hit the deck on the corner leading into the whoops and dropped to 7^th. Parker was soon up to 4^th after a crash by Dougan and was looking sublime as he maintained the same pace as all the main protagonists. Noble was the quickest of the front runners and passed Parker for 4^th with three laps to go before stalling his machine and handing the position back again. With the 2 lap board out Parker stepped it up and reeled in Banks-Brown but just when he looked to be ready to make a pass he hit neutral, losing a couple of seconds and making his quest for 3^rd unlikely and so it proved as he crossed the line in 4^th in front of Noble in 5^th.

Race 2

More of the same was hoped for but didn’t materialise as mistakes cost both riders dear. After making another great start Parker struggled to find his rhythm and dropped back to 8^th but was still in contention. Noble made a mediocre start and had to make his way through traffic. On the third lap disaster struck, just after making a pass on Parker he stalled his bike on a tight left hander and couldn’t fire it up again, eventually rejoining the race near the back of the field. Parker meanwhile was starting to find his rhythm and was desperately trying to pass Snow for 7^th when he cased the double at the top of the hill hurting his back in the process. After a couple of laps to regain his composure he was starting to hunt down the riders ahead of him when he had a huge crash at the bottom of the first hill and with both himself and his machine looking the worse for wear he was forced to retire. Noble was the only rider in the field lapping at the same pace as the front two and eventually made his way back to 8^th at the flag for some valuable points to finish 6^th overall with Parker in 10^th.

Steve Turner, Proppa.com Team Manager: “I was really pleased with everything this weekend except the last race. Saturday was great for the lads’ confidence and on Sunday James was as fast as the guys on the podium but made a mistake in each race which cost him dear. Nez was awesome in qualifying and in the first race where he looked comfortable amongst the top guys. He’s come on leaps and bounds since James joined the team. He is so happy with the bike now and is starting to believe he belongs amongst the front runners”

Northampton Motorcyclists Club kicked off their 2010 season at the popular Badby circuit. Despite some horrendous weather over the previous few weeks, the track was in near perfect condition. With an unrelentingly cold wind blowing across the hilltop circuit for most of the day, the periodic sunshine and absence of rain proved most welcome.

In the Expert class Michael McClurg dominated, taking three wins on his way to overall victory. Consistent top three finishes gave second overall to David Frankland, while Ryan Griffiths had to settle for the last step of the podium due to a mishap in race one despite finishing twice runner-up. The Junior class saw some close battles at the front with different winners in all three races. Martin Streeton won the first but had to settle for two fifth places in the other legs. Joshua Ash won the second encounter but a first race sixth left him runner up overall. Richard Carter won the final race and took the overall with third place in the other legs. Paul Kroner added a second place in the final leg to his two previous fourth places to take third overall on the day.

In the Clubman class Kevin Turnbull was the man to beat as he took a hat trick of wins from a rapidly improving ‘Jumpin’ James Chambers. Jamie Nelson had to settle for third overall following a race two incident. Numbers in the 125 class declined rapidly as the afternoon session progressed and fatigue set in. James Barnwell won all three 125 class races, closely followed by Joe Wyse in the first two until an accident put him out of contention in the third. Adam Collins’ consistent finishes saw him take the runner up spot overall.

The Under 40 class saw on-form Michael McClurg again take a hat trick of wins taking his total to six on the day. Ryan Griffiths again followed him home in the first two legs, giving him enough points for second overall as once again the field diminished towards the end of the day. Positions in the Over 40 class remained fairly consistent through out the day. Paul Kroner took the win from Fraser Law and Kevin Turnbull in all three encounters. Similarly in the Over 50 category Reg Willis took all three wins by some distance from runner-up Martin Raynor.

Thanks to all the marshals who braved the bitterly cold wind. Our next meeting is round one of the South Midland Centre Championships at Long Buckby on 18 April.

Troy Lee Designs/ Lucas Oil/ Honda rider Ben Townley suffered a minor setback to his return to racing this week. While practicing at a local facility in New Zealand Ben hit a false neutral going up a hill. The sudden drop in acceleration threw him forward and his abdomen slammed into the handlebars. He didn’t crash in the incident but he could feel that something wasn’t right. A trip to the hospital revealed a small perforation in his bowel. The injury was surgically repaired on Monday evening and given a four to six week timetable for healing.

“This is definitely a bummer for me,” said a disappointed Townley from his hospital bed. “I was really looking forward to racing in Europe in April. Obviously, that isn’t going to happen now. I have a lot of friends over there and I’ll definitely race some GP’s again someday.”

The good news is that Ben will be completely ready to race on May 22nd. Townley will now forego his European trip and return straight to California next month to begin preparation for the opening round of the Lucas Oil/ AMA Motocross Championships that kick off in Sacramento.

“The good news here is that Ben was finally back to where he needed to be,” explains TLD team manager David Pingree. “I spoke with him over the weekend and he was truly ready to race. He said he finally found the speed and level of riding that he had several years ago and he was excited about it. That is what he needed. This is a small, unfortunate hiccup but you have to look at this big-picture: he’s going to be ready to race at Hangtown.”

Zach Osborne was again in dominating form at the British Masters championship held at Mallory Park.

In a run up to this weekend’s Mallory Park ACU Maxxis British championship the Bike It Cosworth Yamaha team decided to use the Masters event as a practice and testing session ready for this weekends race. Zach was in dominant form as he poled both the MX1 and MX2 class aboard his Yamaha YZ250f. He won the two MX2 races comfortably and just lost out on winning the MX1 class after a mistake on the last lap allowed 450 rider Scott Elderfield past to take the win by a one second margin. Indeed the MX1 class included the CAS duo of Gareth Swanepoel and Evgeny Bobryshev on their GP MX1 machines, so Zach’s performance was especially impressive. Mel Pocock and Ed Allingham had some positive rides in preparation for this weekend.

Zach Osborne “I was happy today, the track was super grippy and we made some good developments on suspension settings today in readiness for the British Championship round here next week. I’m really looking forward to the to that, racing Roczen and the other regular guys there, it’s great preparation for the World Championship which starts in Bulgaria on April 4.

Meanwhile further South Jason Dougan was riding the Pro National at Foxhill and netted fourth overall with third and tenth place finishes, despite a big crash that saw him over the handlebars of his Yamaha YZ450f – he also posted the fasted lap of the race, in race two.

Jason will develop the new Yamaha 450 reverse cylinder fuel injected bike throughout the year. Pheonix tools of Exeter and Plainwood Holding of Northampton have assisted with the inclusion of Jason into the Bike It Cosworth team to contest the British MX1 Championship, as well as the British GP held in May.

Jason Dougan “Today was a good step forward for me, my speed showed today and I am putting consistent races together this year and I feel with the new Yamaha 450 it wont be long before I’m on the podium”.

Next race March 21st Mallory Park round 2 of the ACU Maxxis British Championship.

A dry spell in the weather caused some surprising dusty conditions for the first race meeting of the year hosted by Bridgwater MX Club at ‘The Pan’ Enmore.

A good late entry due to neighbouring groups cancelling nearly filled the gates and gave way to some excellent racing in all groups in the 24 race program.

Mx1 Seniors kicked of the day with Sam Morse taking the overall from Paul Davey and  Mitch Brookes.

Richard Henson took the overall in the Junior U18 group with three straight wins with Harry Wilcox and Sacha Williams picking up second and third.

Mx2 Experts saw Alan Pearce take three maximums with Mathew Alan and Ashley Williamson picking up second and third . The second race had to be restarted following a nasty fall by Brendon Rivers.

Mx2 Juniors saw Michael Newton losing the lead and finishing 14^th after a mistake costing him in the overall after winning race two and second in race three. The overall went to Marty Howells who went on to win the first, Lee Peck in second also with a race win and Christopher Holloway in third.

The inter juniors were Macauley Davies with Tallon Leach taking first and second in all three races and Chad Prosser picking up third overall.

Mx2 Seniors overall was taken by Ashley Coid winning all three with Henry Griffin’s results improving as the track deteriorated picking up second and Mark Caddick in third.

Highlight of the day was the Mx1 Experts with a nearly full gate saw some excellent racing between James Lane, Simon Lane and Kirk Richards picking up the spoils in that order. Simon Lane was leading race one when he misjudged the approach to a jump launching him into the dirt allowing Kirk Richards through to take the win, but managed to remount and save Second place, The second race saw a great battle for position between these three with James Lane going on to win, also winning race three with Simon Lane in second and Dan Smith getting a well earned third.

Final race of the day was Mx1 Juniors with race wins from Darren Davies and Phil Duckett. Darren taking the overall with Nigel Manning Morton picking up second and a Mike Norton taking third.

Villopoto rode to his fifth win of the season leading 19 laps on his way to the top step of the
podium. In the lites class, Pourcel finished third and Wilson finished fourth in the main event.

Since finishing 19th in Atlanta, Villopoto has been on a mission to erase his points deficit winning the last
two races in dominating fashion. On Saturday night in Toronto, Villopoto took the lead on the second lap
and never looked back on his way to his fifth win of the season.

“It definitely feels good to win tonight,” said Villopoto. “The track was tough. We had lap times of almost a
minute, which is big for a typical supercross track. I left Atlanta down 23 points in the standings and now
it’s down to 17. I’m just going to keep doing what I’m doing and give myself a chance to win the
championship.”

Despite a hard crash in his heat race, Pourcel recovered to finish third in the main event. The defending
East Coast lites champion currently leads the standings in his title defense as the AMA Supercross Lites
Eastern Region season passes its midpoint.

“I’ve got bruises everywhere from the crash,” said Pourcel. “But I’m not really hurt. The crash was my
fault. I hit the kicker on the tabletop and went over the bars. I didn’t get a good gate pick for the main and
got an okay start. The track was good tonight and I rode a smart race and still have the points lead.”

Wilson’s supercross lites debut in Canada couldn’t have started any better as he rocketed to the holeshot
in his heat race and went on to get his first heat race win of the season. In the main event he got a good
start and rode near the front for all 15 laps coming home fourth.

“Getting a heat race win is awesome,” said Wilson. “I knew I had the speed and the heat race just went
my way. In the main event I didn’t get the start I wanted and I rode as best as I could. I’m a little
disappointed finishing fourth at my home race, but only because I know I have the speed to be on the
podium every week.”

Villopoto had his hands full all night on the difficult track in Toronto as he lapped more than half the field
on his way to the win.

“The lappers were tough out there tonight,” said Villopoto. “They built the rhythm sections with a couple of
different options which helped, but because the track was so tough, lapped riders were going to be a part
of the race.”

Wilson, who is Canadian, had a busy week in Toronto as he flew in early to help promote the race. The
media attention paid off, as the crowd was clearly partial to Wilson as he received more cheers than any
other rider.

“Hearing all the fans cheering for me was amazing,” said Wilson. “I wasn’t nervous racing in Canada, it
was a lot of fun. I had a busy week up there doing a lot of interviews and making appearances.”
The Rogers Centre in Toronto has the largest stadium floor in the series, which gives the Dirt Wurx crew
an opportunity to put together a great layout. They also brought new dirt to the stadium, which made for
some good racing.

“With the huge floor in Toronto, they built a good track,” said Villopoto. “This was my first race up here and
from I’ve seen of the dirt on TV, tonight was a lot better than the past. It got hard packed and slippery out
there with a lot of rocks. I think that is typical of the dirt up north, it was a lot like Seattle.”

Chad Reed wasn’t in Toronto this weekend as he continues his recovery from a broken hand. Reed is
working hard to get back to racing as soon as he can and may return this week in Dallas.

Thomas Andrew showed that it wasn’t all about the KTM’s in his class as he tore the track apart on his kawasaki. Race three was underway and Aiden and Brandon Eva challanged each other for the holeshot making it too close to call. Whilst after pushing himself in to second on the second lap Thomas Andrew hanged on tight till the chequerd flag flew.

The gates dropped with Matthew Winn flipping his bike over whilst just ahead Maverick Smith claimed the Holeshot. Race two saw Adam Dawe riding really well within the pack.

Luke Yelland was riding smooth whilst in fifth. Matthew Winn had a quite race on his own in fourth whilst third spot Jack Penhaligon was all so running a lonely race. But The battle between first and second was exciting and close. Second spot William Hawkins was riding to a maximum closing the gap on first spot Maverick Smith. William began to be just inches behind and was really starting to put the pressure on Maverick. After flying over the tracks step down Maverick hit the ground unable to stop soon enough for the berms at the bottom of the hill. Hawkins came flying in to Mavericks bike nearly taking him down but managed to keep it up right and took a highly well deserved race win as well as the overall.

Third went to Johnny Hawkins who had a good days racing.

Fourth went by the eratically stylish Wayne Back. Whilst fifth and sixth overall riders Matthew Thomas and Justin Hawkins tied on points with Justin having to settle for sixth.

The Third race was by far the best of the day.

With Jamie and Wayne battling it out to a maximum they seemed unaware just how close Johnny was as he sneeked past them both going on to take the race win.

East Kent never ceases to amaze – with the weather as bad as it was on Sunday, our chairman still ran this week’s meeting at Newnham. Several riders changed their minds and went home due to the bad weather but the ones who stayed had a good day’s racing with a lot of fun and a real Dunkirk spirit! Although the paddock area resembled the Somme rather then Dunkirk – and all this despite of and because of the hostile weather!! Strangely though – the track wasn’t bad at all!

Despite the weather and the mud there were several noteworthy battles in the racing and all racers showed true grit and determination.

First out were the Seniors, kicking off with Kieran Clarke, Lewis Dowsett and John Eaton battling hard, and that was the order they took the flag in the first race. In the second race, unfortunately Lewis came off which then meant Kieran had his first ever overall. Well done to Aidan Folan for his best result ever.

The first AMX race saw Piers Skinner get the holeshot and the win, closely followed by Wild Man Paul Willis and Dave Capper. The second Moto saw Aaron Jenner take the holeshot and the win, closely followed again by Wild Man Willis and Joe Cundle. So proving that the best way of keeping clean in mud is staying at the front!

Daniel Guy in the BW85 Race, raced his heart out, battling with Joe Russell and Dan Packman in the first moto. Second race saw some good battles between Jack Norman, Dan Guy and Joe Russell. In the second Moto they all raced hard but the result was Jack Norman in first place, Dan Guy in second and Joe Russell coming in third.

In the SW85 races there was yet more drama as Louis Close and Aaron Ongley battled it out. Honours went to Louis in the first race and to Aaron in the second, giving him the overall. Steady riding in difficult conditions gave Frank Marchant a well-earned third spot on the podium.

Last out were the Juniors, Tom Lockhart made it look so incredibly easy with two strong wins. In the second moto he lapped nearly every other rider!! Gary Ashley, Bradley Smith and Lewis Cloud battled hard to reach first place,but could only watch the mud that Tom kicked up!

We would like to say a really big thanks to the Medics, Marshals, Committee and the Lapscorers for standing out in the rain for two blocks of racing – without you guys the racing could never have happened. Hopefully it will be drier at Mepal on the 28th March!!

Results:

Jnr – Tom Lockhart, Bradley Smith, Lewis Cloud, Gary Ashley, Michael Edwards, Luke Horley

SW – Aaron Ongley, Louis Close, Frank Marchant, Ethan Winchester, Marni Saunders, Charlie Earley

BW – Daniel Guy, Joe Russell, Charlie Cundle, Daniel Packman, Connor Smith, John Tettmar

Snr – Kieran Clarke, Aidan Folan, David Taylor, John Eaton, Gary Monks and Gary Young

AMX – Paul Willis, Arron Jenner, Piers Skinner, Joe Cundle, Dave Capper, Ben Crane
