Braintree BMX Club Race Report.

Peterborough EA BMX Regional Round 5, 27th June 2010

Round 5 of the East Anglian BMX Summer Regional series took place at Peterborough Pirates BMX Track last weekend. 37 riders from Braintree Bullets BMX Club made the trip to try and gather more valuable points towards their East Anglian rankings and gain those all important British Championships qualification places.  With temperatures topping 90 degrees, the weather was hot but the racing was even hotter.

The7 year old boys’ class saw Braintree’s youngest competitors take to the track. Luke Shriever battled hard all day against local lad Sam Stonebridge and finally settled for 2nd. Club mates Tyler Carter and Morgan Spenner finished 6th and 8th respectively.

In the 8 year old boys Joe Read-Millard and Sydney Allen tore the field apart and battled against each other all day long. In the final Joe took the win with Sydney pushing him all the way in 2nd.

The 9 year old boys was another class where Braintree riders took a strangle hold. Charlie O’Grady made up for a bad start to finish 5th, but Olly Rowe and 8 year old club mate Tom Stokes stole the show taking the top steps of the podium. Joseph Carter, Jake Newton and Cade Moore also represented The Bullets.

Luke Mayes used his power in the 10 year olds to take a well deserved 3rd place and Noah Shriever rounded off his day in 5th. In the 11 year olds Joshua Legrove chased down national champion Ethan Vernon all day and took a fantastic 2nd place with Shane Redgewell just behind him in 3rd.

George Moret dominated the 12 year old boys taking wins in every race to narrow the points gap in the chase for the East Anglian title. Matthew Prior battled hard against much more experienced competition to finish 3rd.

Braintree was represented in the 14 year olds by Lee Golder and Shane Pavitt. Lee narrowly edged out Shane in the final to finish 5th and 6th respectively.

The crowd were treated to a show by Riess Harper in the 16 year olds. Winning every lap all day, he won in fine style. Christopher Potter kept the leaders honest in 3rd and Dexter Addington representing Blake End bike shop; Missing Link Cycles smoothed his way to 4th.

The 17-24 class was a high speed affair with many top national riders hitting the track at warp speeds. In the A final Bradley Watts and Matt Kirk showed their skill taking 4th and 5th for Braintree and look to be in good form for the British Championships in September.  Following semi final battles, Olly Cutmore and Julian Allen wound up in the B final and battled together on the last half of the track with Olly just pipping Julian to the line for 3rd and 4th respectively.

Stu Dixon narrowly missed out on the top spot in the Masters class taking a well deserved 2nd place with Gavin Stokes just behind in the 3rd spot. The Veterans class saw Old School rider Jason Bridge battle for 4th place with Paul “Iron Man” Shriever settling for 5th.

The ladies were represented by Dee williams who finished 3rd in the 25+ class. Anja Moret won the 9-10 girls and now leads the regional championships by nearly 100 points with only 4 rounds to go. Bethany Shriever finished off another good day with 3rd in the 11-12 girls.

The cruiser classes saw Evan Tulloch taking the win n the 9-12 year olds, Jason Clark and Olly Cutmore with 1st and 2nd in the 17-29 class and Mark Spenner in a spectacular 2nd in the 35-39 year olds.

The next round of the regional championships is at Royston Rockets track on 25th July and many of Braintrees riders will be heading to rounds 7 and 8 of the National Championships in Manchester this weekend following the superb races at their home track in early June. Braintree Bullets continue their club series every Wednesday night at their home track where racing starts at 7pm and new riders are always welcome.

Following a trip over to Towerlands at the weekend I can now confirm that the majority of the electric hook up points are on hard standing.  There was however a caravan with an awning which was held down with weights.  There are a few electric hook ups on a separate grassy area but across the roadway from the main electric area and these will be reserved for any tents requiring electric hook up.

 

If this causes a problem with your booking please let me know via the website enquiry page.

Although there are still 40 electric hook up spaces available, 28 have been booked in one week!

I will be at Derby this weekend, hopefully with a plan of the hook ups for you view who is allocated where.
