Report

By Paul Durbajlo

A chilling breeze greeted the large entry of riders, including our friends, mainly from East Anglia, racing in the NGR series.

With the day starting dry, but raining steadily by half distance during the first race, the track was getting sticky towards the end of the day.

Paul Hubbard from Bury St Edmunds astride his Yamaha was the rider in form in the NGR, not gating too well, but with consistent speed, and good staying power, finished the day with 2 wins and a 3rd place, just pipping Mark Pyner and Lee Keyton for the overall honours.

Next out the juniors, after sorting themselves out with their grading heats, got down to some serious scrapping for places, with Sidcup member Mark Taylor taking 2 wins from Jose Sasse in the A group.

Kevin Plumley with 1 win and 2nd place was junior B winner. Junior C was won with 2 wins by Northampton's Tim Bates on his 250 Honda, followed home both times by Paul Evans.

Bring on the Experts, with some serious talent on show, including James Paignton, a past British Championship winner here, we were treated to the Ben Taylor guide of how to ride this circuit, with a patchy season behind him Ben really got his head down, to stick 3 wins on the scoreboard, and with this kind of speed here, in wet sand, another Weston Beach race coming up, who needs winter.
