Paul Burns the competition
The resurgence of interest in the 2012 SMC Series
continued at Badby where Round 3 was hosted by Northampton Motorcyclists Club.
The large entry of riders were treated to a new noise-reducing track layout that
provided close exciting racing all day. A break in the recent run of wet weather
meant the hilltop circuit was in prime condition, dry but never dusty apart from
a single wet corner that steadfastly refused to dry out all day.
In the Expert class 2011 champion Dale Raynor lost out on
the overall by a single point to Paul Burn. Paul improved on a first leg third
to win the other two, while Dale won the first and finished runner up twice.
Michael McClurg finished third battling closely with the leaders each time. The
final race proved incredibly close and had the crowd on their feet as all three
were within striking distance of the win, with Paul somehow staying in front to
the flag.
In the Junior A group Ben Putnam secured overall first
with a win and a second. The second race win and second overall went to resident
track expert Ian Teverson, who would surely have won the first as well if he'd
not missed the start. Jordan Wills took third overall with consistent second and
third place finishes. Rupert Fairclough and James Chambers tied on points at the
head of the Junior B class. Both took a win and a third, Rupert taking first
overall by virtue of his win in race two. Finishing second both times out and
missing the win by a single point was Gary Shaw.
The Elite Over 40 and Over 50 classes once again provided
the fullest line ups of the day. Tony Leishman took yet another overall victory,
but was unable to catch the smooth riding Cliff Lester in the final race. Cliff
took second from Mark Bland who progressed to third each time on the screaming
two stroke, despite being out dragged each time on the long uphill start. Nigel
Miller dominated the Over 50 class with the only hat trick of the day. Sam Boak
took second overall from the hard charging Andrew Brightman.
In the 2 stroke class Tony Leishman took another overall
from Mark Bland. Jono Bourn took a well-deserved third behind them. Race wins
also went to Gary Putnam and Thomas Harwood, but they didn't feature overall
after only taking part in one leg each. In the Workers handicap race James
Chambers snatched victory from a less than pleased Hayley Rilings. Fraser Law
was only able to reach third after receiving an enormous time penalty at the
start.
Round 4 of the 2012 SMC now takes place at Toddington on
the rescheduled date of June 10.
