Mirek claims third Summer Championship
Andy Blackburn, Mirek Daniszewski & Ricky Scarboro – Open Class Winners
Other Summer Championship titles were won in the Novice, Upright and Youth 125/150 classes. Tim Antill claimed his first round win and an unassailable lead in the Novice Class after defeating the previously unbeaten Dave Brayshaw in the final. In the Upright Class it was Gary O’Hare who reeled off six wins and his fourth round win of the summer whilst 11-year old Jolyon West could console himself with the Summer title in the Youth 125/150 class after being defeated for the first time in six meetings. He had once again gone through qualifying unbeaten but was headed home by Harry McGurk after an epic three-way tussle with him and Jordan Palin.
There were great races throughout the day and the Support Class final was another that produced a last lap pass. 17-year old George Rothery was the star on that occasion with an outstanding pass of Bulgarian Stoian Stoianov to claim his second successive class win.
There were further class wins for Luke Woodhull (Youth 500 on his debut in the class), Leon Flint (also on his class debut in the Youth 250 class) and Skye Adams (Flat Track) along with two for George Hopper (Pit Bike and Junior 110 classes).
After the meeting organiser Richard Hollingsworth confirmed it was one of the best meetings the club had run “We had about sixty riders and ran 87 races. Not once was the paramedic called to attend anyone and the quality of the racing was exceptional in just about every class. You can’t ask for better than that can you?
“So many of the classes are expanding even though it is the height of the holiday season. We had seven in the upright class, eight pit bikes, nine flat trackers. It’s all very encouraging and I’m sure when the MDL, National League, grass track and flat track seasons wind down we’ll see extra riders coming along. We’ll certainly have a big turnout on 4th October for the final round of the Summer Championship and now we’ve announced twelve Winter Series meetings.
Once the clocks go back at the end of October we have to split the classes over two separate weekends so we’ll have the youth classes along with flat track and pit bikes one weekend and then the following week we will have the four adult speedway classes. It’s always exciting when the classes are really full so I’m really looking forward to the coming months.
“Of course we do rely on people coming forward to help us run the meetings but hopefully people will race in their rounds and then come and help run the meetings for the other classes over the winter. It was great to have some new people come forward to help this week and we really appreciate the help given to us. We have some amazing regulars but many hands make light work and what we really want is where everyone is chipping in and people are only having to help out at one or two a year.
