Every year NMCC host the Bob Collier Trophy MX at
Long Buckby in aid of the Bloodwise charity. In stark contrast to the
previous fortnight when dust caused issues, the track was in near-perfect
condition. Heavy watering the previous day combined with overnight rain led
to ultimate traction dust-free racing. Bob’s wide interest in different
types of motocross were well represented with some great machines being
ridden by old friends in many of the races.
Jack Gregory was in fine form on his 2 stroke Honda
winning all three Expert & Junior races and laying down some of the day’s
fastest lap times along the way. Aiden Maloney came out on top of a close
battle for second in each leg taking second overall, from Michael McClurg
who also opted for a 2 stroke Honda for this event. Sam Harwood hurtled
towards Expert status by taking first place Junior in all three of his
races. Matthew Ryan just beat George Cox to second place by a single point.
Nathan Skinner took another hat-trick of wins in the Clubman class ahead of
the ever stylish Ian Thompson and an on form Richard Jochacy.
Fraser Law once again won the Friends of Bob class,
just in front of Brad Willis each time. Tom Rose finished third overall
ahead of Reg Willis on his 500 Suzuki. Paul Kroner came out ahead in the
Premier O40 class after some close battles with race one winner Cliff
Lester. Cliff finished second overall ahead of Matthew Mason. Fraser Law
took another 3 wins in the Elite Over 50 class ahead of Simon Tucker and
Richard Ford each time. Richard Jochacy carried his form over from the
Clubman class into the Super O60 class. Richard took wins in all three legs,
with Trevor Roberts getting faster all day to take second overall. Third
place went to Roger Knibbs ahead of twinshock Husky mounted Steve Mitton.
Classes for EVOs, Twinshocks & 2 Strokes were combined. Greg Cox demolished
all option to take the EVO win on the big 500 Honda. Steve Mitton and the
Husky took the twinshock honours from maico-mounted Michael Freeman. Jack
Gregory styled his way to another 3 wins in the 2 Stroke class with Michael
McClurg always in hot pursuit. Max Nethaway took third just ahead of EVO
winner Greg Cox.
