July Moto X 2003
Sunday 6th July 2003
1 Expert group, 3 Junior groups and a round of the NGR Series for 'older' age groups on modern MX bikes.
Report
Sidcup & DMCC ran another successful regional restricted motocross on Sunday at Canada Heights. There was a full line up in all groups and perfect motocross weather resulting in a dust free meeting. The track was once again run in the reverse direction, but this time with more preparation. The jumps were graded differently and with a lot of rider input (and work) on the Saturday the circuit was much improved.
The Expert races were close run events with Ben Taylor fighting late entry Danny Smyth through all the races, with Danny Smyth keeping the 250 Suzuki right with the 450 Honda of Ben Taylor all day long, making Ben work hard to earn his three wins. Tom Fuller followed up with a second place and third place while David Williams took two seconds and a third.
There was once again random noise testing all day long and rigorous enforcing of the no riding in the paddock rule with a rider being sent home for not heeding several warnings.
In the visiting NGR class Lee Keyton took all three races on his 250 Yamaha with Matt Dye on the 450 Honda taking second in all 3 races.
In the Juniors Dene Willis and Justin Stevenson shared a win and second each while Mark Taylor came all the way from Leeds to take two thirds.
Regs are now available for the final regional restricted at Canada Heights in September, while the next motocross at Canada Heights will be on the August 10th and is a round of the MR Thumpercross series.
