Regional Summer Series Round 7t
The return round of the East Anglia versus South
Region Challenge took place last Sunday at the track of the Hayes
Hawks BMX Club which was also the seventh round of the East Anglia
BMX Summer Race Series. The event attracted over 250 riders from
across the two regions and the weather was dry but often overcast
which made good conditions for the riders on the fast but dusty
track that even an early spraying from the local Fire and Rescue
vehicle could not dampen.
The Royston Rockets BMX Racing Club had 7 riders
competing with the club’s newest recruit, Darren Plumb, moving up
from the novice ranks to ride in the 16yr Experts class where he
took a well earned seventh in the class A final whilst in the
younger expert classes Ethan Vernon took second with team mate
Daniel Blanche finishing seventh in the class A final of the 9 year
class. The 10yr class saw Bradan Blanche taking a fine third in the
A final and in the 11’s Matthew Harris took second in the class B
final. In the 14 year category Aston Blanche eased into the class A
final and crossed the line ahead of the chasing pack whilst in the
15 year class Andrew Brooker who had recently progressed from the
Novice classes into the experts took fifth in the B final.
The next event on the regional race calendar is the
eighth round to be held at Ipswich on July 26th where the Rockets
will again be out in force to chase points for their ranking
positions.
The clubs own Summer Race Series is going well as
part of their regular Tuesday night sessions at the clubs track in
Burns Road, Royston. Full details of forthcoming club and regional
events are published on the club web site at
