Regional Winter Series 2009/10 Round 4

The fourth round of the East Anglia BMX Region winter series took place last Sunday at the track of the Braintree BMX Club who have just received notification that they will be hosting a round of the 2010 National Series.

The racing attracted almost 100 riders from across the region and a few from outside of the area trying to find somewhere to ride after Christmas as the sports winter calendar has fallen foul of the weather, although many stayed at home because of the earlier forecasts which indicated rain showers throughout the event. However, the day dawned bright and dry sunny periods to provide good conditions for the riders on a track that had drained well.

With novice and expert riders of all abilities compete together to gain points for their series rankings the racing was close and very competitive. Royston’s only female rider at the event, Ella Tomsett took a hard earned 2nd in the 10 and Under Girls class and the male riders also had a series of good results in their classes with the Under 7 male class seeing Alfie Salmon take 5th in the main final and Will Frascoe in his first race at Braintree taking 5th in the B final and the 8-10yr male class Royston saw Myles Fisher finish 2nd in the “A” final ahead of James King in 6th and Daniel Blanche in 7th whilst in the B final Benjamin Mansfield took 7th. The Rockets took another good position in the 11-13yr category where Ethan Vernon took 4th place in the A final and in the 14-16yr class, Max Jenkins took 5th in the class B final. The 30+ class saw another podium position for Darren Foreman as he took 3rd place and the final rider for the Rockets competing in the 17+ Cruiser class was Matt Salmon who finished in 4th place in the B final.

Round 5 of the Series takes place on 21st February at Norwich BMX Club but before then the Rockets have a round of their own winter series programme on January 31st – registration closes at 12 noon. Full details of forthcoming club and regional events will be published soon on the club web site at www.roystonrockets.co.uk, or ring 01763 260959 for more information on BMX racing.
