May MX - 2000
We were lucky with the weather,
after a week of quite violent rain showers the day was warm and sunny, and
the track was ideal for racing - soft with no dust.
Things kicked of fine with
good racing until the first Junior B moto cross got under way. Then all
hell broke loose with the Clerk of the Course, Alan Clarke having to think
quickly on his feet as to whether he should stop the race because of a start
line bend accident. Luckily the rider was OK by the time the riders completed
their first lap but then another nasty looking accident happened on the
orchard table top, again Alan was looking to his red flag but the Red Cross
quickly treated the fallen rider then he had a call on the radio to say
it looked as if Kristian Ruse had broken his leg on the other side of the
hill. These injuries resulted in all of the ambulances being used to transport
the injured to hospital and racing had to be held up for half an hour until
one returned to the track.
Ray Smith and Jody Smythe
kept everyone on their feet with some good battles in the Ace Four Stroke
Races. Whilst late entry Brian Jorgensen, trying to get some training under
his belt after coming back from injury and only riding a 125 , put up a
good performance with Ben Taylor and the superfit Jody Smythe in the Expert
Races. Juniors scoring their expert points today were Steve Bixby 7 , Darren
Redman 6 , Keith Best 4, Jonathon Catt 2, Mark Wooldridge 1.
