On sunny Saturday 3rd November, South Hams MX Club together with Wheeldon Farm hosted their 4th event of the year at Capton Farm, Moreleigh. With a very enthusiastic turnout on this popular 5 mile circuit, Rob “Rabbit” Wreyford showed his class to take the Expert win (16 laps). He was very closely matched for the first hour of the race by Charlie Richards and Rob Pollard who rode smoothly and had Rob Wreyford in their sights for 5-6 laps until Rob managed to pull away, showing his speed on the mini-bike section. Rob Pollard’s undoing was a mistake in the pits and he did extremely well to pass the other experts on the same laps, to finish third. Those other experts on the same laps as Charlie and Rob Pollard, in order of finishing, were Matt Clayden, Richie Churchill, Andy Muller and Sam Guppy. Clubman class was, at times, on pace with the experts with Richard Grills coming in first on 14 laps, closely followed by Paul Carpenter (also 14) and George Barden on 13 laps. Sportsman Limited was won by local man Martin Williams (13), with Douglas Wynne close behind also on 13 and Nigel Perring, third on 11 laps. Sportsman Open was won by Glynn Elliott on 13 laps (better than the last race, when he blew his bike up!), just behind him was Steve Rocket also on 13, and Wayne Clarke on 12 in third place. Over 40s showed their experience well, with Simon Sheridan taking it on a fantastic 14 laps, Paul Vowden second on 13, and Phil Sewell third on 12 laps. Junior event was also popular, with the overall winner being Robbie Cross (14-16 yrs). Jnr 10-12 yrs winner was Tom Ingram on 8 laps, closely followed by Callum Coffin also on 8, with Connor Hill 3rd with 5 laps. Jnr 12-14 yrs winner was Olly Savery on 9 laps, closely followed by Daniel Richards also on 9 laps, and 3rd place went to Jay Cross with 7 laps, Jnrs 14-16 yrs was won by Robbie Cross on 10 laps (early part of the race was a great tussle with Tom Chapman, who unfortunately blew his bike on lap 5), followed by Josh Coker on 8 and Lawrence Saunders, also on 8 laps. Fastest lap time for Juniors was Tom Chapman with a 9 minute 9 second lap! Hare & Hounds, Capton Farm, Nr Moreleigh 14th April 2007 First time we've co-run something like this. Along with South Hams MX Club, we ran a Hare & Hounds on a new circuit, designed by with Nick Life no less, and the response was Fantastic! We had a group of Icelanders here who were mad keen to try something different (don't have this kind of terrain where they come from) and had an absolute ball! All want to come back and do it again. We had lots of riders from all over the South West, and feedback so far has been that they loved the course! Great to have somewhere different to ride, and all keen to come back again for the next one. 9th June is the next one. Different course again, Nick Life getting involved in the design again, and look forward to seeing you all there! Any comments at all, just email us through the website, and we'll be happy to get back to you. Easter Holidays 2007 Lots more Junior training run over the Easter holidays - seems the Juniors are raring to go, and keen to get some practice in....... And more beginners wanting to take up a new hobby (watch out Mum & Dad - at least you know where we are).
