SMC Summer National at Milton MX Park
The SMC Summer National took place at Milton MX Park on
the hottest day of the year so far. The event was switched to Milton at the
last minute, but the ACU did a great job preparing and watering the track to
cope with the dry conditions. The technical circuit with its big supercross
style jumps and tight turns proved something quite different from the tracks
that the SMC Championships usually visit. This and the tremendous heat made
for close, exciting and unpredictable racing.
James Russell continued to dominate the Expert class on
his return to the series. James got to the front and won all three legs,
despite close attention from a charging Jordan Wright in race one. Rob
Herring got better as the day went on to secure second overall with a pair
of second places in the afternoon once he’d got the track dialled. Jordan
Wright rode extremely hard on his screaming two stroke, taking third overall
despite a few aerial incidents.
Jordan Hughes also finished the day undefeated with two
straight wins in the Junior A finals. Behind him the other riders were less
consistent, but Darren Flitney finished the day with a second place to take
second overall from Mark Taylor who finished third for third overall. In the
Junior B class Ryan Flack took a clean sweep of both finals. Jordan Anderton
and Danny Smith traded second and third places, with Jordan getting second
overall by virtue of his higher position in the final race.
The Premier O40 class continues to gather momentum,
with the front runners posting faster laptimes than all the other classes
bar the Experts. Now that the class contains some Experts, that’s no
surprise. Ryan Griffiths recovered from third first time out win legs two
and three and take the overall. First race winner Simon Wyse took second
overall, trading second places with third place finisher Tony Leishman. In
the Elite O50 class newly promoted Richard Wright is proving the man to beat
this year. Two wins and a second place secured him the overall, he also took
a fine second place in the opening Junior A final. Steve Worts had to settle
for second overall after winning the final encounter with Steve Gilbey
consistent in third.
2 Stroke specialist Mark Bland finished twice runner-up
to Robert Holyoake, but took overall victory after Robert failed to finish
the final race. Third overall went to Connor Dickens who finished
consistently behind Mark. Running together with the U40 class menat some
riders were eligible for both. Robert Holyoake again could have taken the
overall but instead it went to last race winner Russell Harris, from Kyle
Creevy and Connor Dickens.
