September at Long Buckby can be a difficult month for motocross. After a long dry summer the hillside track has in the past proved difficult to water and prepare, with water often in short supply. This year however was all different. Weeks of hard work from the track crew meant the circuit was in prime condition, with watering going on late into Saturday night. Sunday morning brought a couple of welcome rain showers that left the track perfect all day.
In the Expert class Thomas Allsopp took a well deserved overall win after some close battles with Shaun Robinson. The Experts combined with the Junior A group for the afternoon finals. Jamie Richmond who’s been on fire this year in the Junior class showed exactly why he’ll be heading to the Expert Class next season. Jamie took clear wins in both races, well ahead of the Experts as well as his Junior opposition. George Cox was also not afraid to mix it up with the Expert riders, taking a great second place overall and a good haul of Expert points. Tyler Etheridge finished in third place both times out. In the Junior B finals Lee Hayward and Josh Ford both took wins, top step of the podium going to Josh after Lee finished slightly further back in race two. Russell Diggin took two consistent thirds, and with that a not surprising third overall.
As usual the South East EVO series put on a fine display of both immaculate EVO bikes, and fast racing. The sound and smell of the 2 strokes proving very popular with spectators. Steve Bixby was on unstoppable form, cruising to a hattrick of wins. Brett Fisher took second each time, with Jason Morland taking third overall after securing that position in both the afternoon races. In the Premier O40 Ryan Griffiths took the overall by a single point after some close racing with James Berrill. Dale Philips finished inside the top four all day to secure third overall. Tony Leishman for a change proved unbeatable in the Elite Over 50 class, winning every race despite the best efforts of Jason Morettes who got closed in a few times. Third overall, and in each race went to Greg Cox.
Three fine wins saw Stephen Hollins take the Super O60 class in style. Simon Tucker tied on points with Ross Dover for second, taking the place by virtue of a higher placed finish in race three. The U40 and 2 stroke classes ran together with separate scoring. Finn Morgan took the overall in the U40 class after taking victory in the last race. Second overall went to George Elsden from Josh Ford. James Berrill came out on top in the 2 stroke class, ahead of Finn Morgan and George Elsden. The popular workers race had to be shelved on this occasion as the medics dealt with a number of injuries during the lunch break. Fear not though, it will run again next time.
