Summer
Series Round 3 - 15th May 2005
The
Royston Rockets BMX Racing Club were competing in the third round of
the 2005 Summer Series at Ipswich BMX Track last Sunday, although the
event was actually being run by the Norwich BMX Club who are in the
process of building a new national standard track. The weather was
sunny and dry which made the track a little loose and dusty but the
racing was fast and very competitive
The
7-8 year class saw Royston’s youngest rider, Ethan Lewis taking an
excellent 3rd place overall in the class, even though a
fall in his last qualifier probably robbed him of a higher placing.
Even with his fall the judges awarded Ethan one of the “Riders of
the Day” trophies in recognition of his battling rides against older
riders. In the 9-10 Male class both Royston members made the “A”
final with James Handleigh leading the Royston charge with a 2nd place
with team mate Louis Burton not far behind in 6th. The
Master Class category saw all three Rockets qualify for the “A”
final with Laurence Mapp taking the win, Chris Mapp in 4th
and Richard Townsend taking 6th.
The
Club members move onto Peterborough next weekend for the fourth round
of the Regional Series followed by the second national of the year at
Chorley in Lancashire.
The
Royston club’s practice evenings are being held every Tuesday from
7.00pm. Further details of forthcoming club and regional events are
published on the club web site at www.roystonrockets.co.uk,
