The raffle was drawn.. ticket 011 was the £100 voucher ( still unclaimed ) and 082 the race kit ( won by Gary Porter.)

The other winning numbers will be posted up as soon as Sharon goes over the track to get her bag with all the paperwork.

We were a little hasty in trying to get home @ 6pm.

Not 100% sure of the order, but think it was:- Damien Mead, Super Mario (Pressi) & Jason King

Some heavy hitters there! Must have been some quick racing!

[nicp74]

rocked -
• the track- awesome condition guys well done, made for really fast racing when most places would have been a quagmire.
• the racing was hot, despite most being caught out by the sudden introduction of summer season racing!!!
• making the A final in 40+ - nice riding boys, first moto first straight crashes a sign of the conviction everyone has to placing well, no sunday riders there!!!
• Matt taking the 40-44 win (technically), but KW's win in the race was great
• Good turn out
• Good organisation

sucked -
• not much, just that it rained for the mains

If this is an indication of the quality we can expect this season it's going to be fun.

Cheers daggers boys and girls, nice race meeting!!!

Wow! that is "low resolution, can't even see the pics!!??

[QuadPaul]

Ah, nor could I but assumed it was becuase I was on my work machine. Maybe I've jumped the gun then

[kevinriviere]

didnt rate what i saw at their van, in so much that most of the pics were just of people in mid air, no track in them to give some perspective of how much air there was between the rider & the ground. something is better than nothing i guess & rather them there than not but in most cases with things like this, track design, formats, etc, it needs someone who understands the sport to take a truely good or great pic.

Dont dog shit just really annoy the fook outta ya, gets stuck in the tyres, TBH tho was far more local Chavs letting their dogs lay cables than BMXers, know we cleared up after our little one's steamers (someone give me a chunder smiley)

[Matt French]

Never the Ghost Keith, and I hope they dont start to split the two classes up - Lets qualify the statement - Keith Wilson 1st 45+ with Matt in 2nd place as the 1st 40 - 44 rider in the A final. Keith rode a great race, and I could not close the gap enough to make a move. Lets not take anything away from him..

Rocked

Me & Keith not being hurt after a full tilt stack together on the first strait in moto 1
