report: Fraser Law

Round 2 of the 2014 SMC Championships took place at Daventry MX track hosted by NMCC. The seen was set for an epic day’s racing, with track well prepared and bathed in glorious sunshine.

In the Expert Class James Russell continued to dominate. Three straight wins saw his title defence well on course. Behind him Mark Boswell and Dale Raynor both continued their return to form after long injury lay-offs. Mark took second overall with two second places and a third. Dale finished third overall from Joe Wyse, at the track where  his serious injury took place last year.

Justin Carter took wins in both Junior A races for the factory Husqvarna team, showing just how competitive an enduro bike can be in the right hands. Second overall went to John Gill after a fine second place in the opening race, from Steven Chilvers and Fraser Law in joint third. In the Junior B class Tom Thierens took a fine overall win, building on a confidence boosting race win at the previous round. His second race victory came after a very close battle with Gerard Scott, who lead right up until the final lap. First race winner Aaron Read finished second overall.

In the Premier Class Tony Leishman was once again the man to beat. Two wins and a second also put his title defence well underway. Justin Carter took second overall after finishing not far behind Tony in each race. Behind them Steve Bottoms came out the best after some close battles with Fraser Law. In the Elite class Steve Gilbey was able to capitalise on Richard Wright’s issues in race one to tale overall victory with three second places. Second overall went to race one winner Colin Prince, while victory in races two and three was enough to lift Richard Wright back to third overall.

In the Under 40 class Ben Huckerby won a close fought battle with Steven Chilvers, with Kyle Creevy in third. Tony Leishman, took another overall in the two stroke class, with Ben Huckerby second this time out. Third went to Connor Dickens from James Lewis. Round three takes place at Toddington on Easter Monday.
