In vivid contrast to the SMC round just 7 days before that was rained off, Long Buckby was hot and dry. Despite many areas of the country suffering the after affects of a hurricane, this particular area of Northamptonshire had not seen any rain in weeks. Turnout was modest due to Kensworth unfortunately clashing with our date. The ground was hard and the track testing, but as usual the racing was fast and furious. As NMCC allow riders to enter as many classes as they are eligible for, this meant that most took part in atleast six races.

Due to a low turnout in the Expert class this race was combined with the Juniors. Ryan Griffiths took overall with two seconds and a win in race two. Joe Wyse won the first and last but didn't finish race two and had to settle for third from consistent finishing Martin Streeton. In the Junior category Harry Turner took victory in all three races, fully justifying his soon-to-be Expert status. Behind him the finishing positions changed every race with a well deserved second overall going to Adam Collins from a second and two thirds. Luke Morgan finished just behind to take the final podium spot with a second, a third and a fourth.

In the Clubman class a Daniel Miles and Matt Willis fought a close battle for the lead all day. Matt won their first encounter but Daniel took the other two and the overall victory. Behind them another tough struggle took place for third between Louis Knibbs, Simon Collins and Dan Holmes. Louis stayed consistently in the top five and took third overall. Simon's best result was a third at the start of the day, whilst Dan did the exact opposite at the end of the day. Ryan Griffiths again proved unbeatable in the Under 40 class. Martin Streeton's secure looking second overall vanished after his engine seized in the final race, allowing Matt Willis to take another second overall from Dan Holmes.

In the Over 40 class Mark Bland won the opening leg but had to settle for second in the other two and second overall. Adam Collins won both the second and third motos to take the overall with Fraser Law in third. In the Over 50 class the overall points were incredibly close. Race victories went to Andrew Brightman and Reg Willis, though Nick Bragg was never far behind and moved up to second in the final race. Peter Garrard took a hat-trick of wins in the 2 stroke class where positions remained pretty much the same all day. Mark Bland took three second places from Daniel Miles with three thirds.

The final round of both the Club, and the SMC Championships takes place at Long Buckby on 30 October.
