Sometimes the weather forecasters get it right. On the
weekend of NMCC's first meeting of the year unfortunately they did. Whilst most
clubs cancelled their meetings, NMCC decided to carry on and provide some racing
for all the eager entrants. After a miserable 24 hours of rain leading up to the
event, the circuit was shortened in advance to avoid the two worst hills in
order that the majority of riders could get round. Conditions started out very
challenging and heavy going, but by midday some drier lines started to appear
and by the end of the day things had improved no end. The season got underway
almost exactly as the last on had finished with reigning champions at the front
in most classes.
Reigning SMC Expert Champion Ryan Griffiths stated the
season in fine style. Revelling in the muddy going he took two wins and a second
place in the Expert class to secure overall victory. Mark Boswell was never far
behind but had to settle for second on this occasion. Michael McClurg found
speed on his 2 Stroke as the track dried to finish third after a good win in the
final race.
In the Junior group, the club's 2010 Junior Champion Martin
Streeton was once again the man to beat. After a second in the first encounter
he went on to win both the other races and take first place. Jake Penny finished
second overall after battling through from a slow start in the opening race.
Mark Bland showed lots of skill to win the first race, but problems in the final
leg dropped him to third overall. The Clubman class had to be decided on the
results from races two and three, after the bikes became so muddy in the opener
that they were impossible to lapscore. Jacob Lowe and Vince Branch both shared
wins but it was Jacob who took the overall, with Scott Chamberlain in third
position.
The Over 40 class was dominated by another 2010 SMC
Champion Tony Leishman, winning all three races. Richard Wright made full use of
his new electric start to quickly restart on a few occasions and took second
overall. Kevin Turnbull rode smoothly and consistently to the final podium
position. Andrew Brightman once again dominated the Over 50 class, but didn't
have it all his own way as a fit again Reg Willis snatched victory in the final
race for second overall, from Richard Watts in third. The Under 40 group
provided another three wins for Ryan Griffiths who never looked like he could be
beaten. Matt Willis used his enduro skills to full effect in the tricky
conditions to take second, with Dan Holmes on his new 450 in third.
New for 2011, the 2 Stroke class saw close racing all day.
Michael McClurg opened the day with a win in the first leg but then concentrated
his efforts on other classes. Dale Raynor took maximum advantage of this by
winning the other two races and taking the overall. Tony Leishman rode extremely
well to finish second overall from Jordan Wright.
It was good to see so many new club members this season,
the action continues on March 13 at Badby.
