Coventry meeting at Weedon 21st July 2013

Coventry Junior Motox Club did it again, despite the intense heat, the Club yet again pulled out all the stops to ensure their riders had another great Club Championship Top Ten Trophy Meeting whilst at the popular Weedon Track in Northamptonshire.

 First out after a wet practice session were the Veteran Riders with Luke Brown going all out for the win in the first race closely followed by Sean Doyle in 2^nd and Simon Steadman in 3^rd.  Race two and this time Sean managed to snatch the win from Luke with Simon again coming in 3^rd place.  The final race and these old timers didn’t let the heat get to them as they battled their way to the finish line with Luke Brown again taking a deserved win, Sean Doyle 2^nd and Simon Steadman a consistent 3^rd.

 

Next to try their luck around Weedon came the Senior Youth Class and what a class !  Daniel Neale kept the pressure on in the first race to take the win from Joe Tobutt in 2^nd and a brilliant first time back from injury for Charlie Sutton ensured he took 3^rd.  Race two and this time Joe didn’t let any of the wet stuff get under his wheels for too long by crossing the chequered flag first ahead of Daniel Neale in 2^nd and 3^rd again for Charlie Sutton.  The final race and another win for Daniel Neale, 2^nd for Joe Tobutt and a 3^rd place hat-trick for Charlie Sutton. 

 

Full Flight rider Brad Doyle claimed a convincing win in the first Open Class race with a battling Jordan Hughes taking 2^nd and Bobby Carruthers taking 3^rd.  Race 2 and another win for Brad Doyle, 2^nd this time for Chuck Davies who had moved into the class on a borrowed bike with 3^rd going to Jordan Hughes.  The final race and a battle it was from start to finish by the top 3 riders but Chuck Davies just had the edge on his borrowed machine from Brad Doyle in 2^nd and a good ride by Bobby Carruthers who took 3^rd.

 Scott “Titch” Hambridge had a blinder of a day with 3 well deserved race wins in the AMX Class.

Dean Hakes claimed 2^nd place in races 1 and 2 with Danny O’Callaghan taking 3^rd place in races 1 and 2.  The final race and after Titch crossed the finish line came Danny O’Callaghan in 2^nd and 3^rd place for Dean Hakes.

 The first race in the Big Wheel 85cc class saw a bit of a pile up just after the start but it didn’t stop Kyde Marlow from taking the race win ahead of visiting Luke Postlethwaite in 2^nd and Mitchell Warhurst 3^rd.  Race two and this time Mitch Warhurst crossed the finish flag first with Kyde Marlow 2^nd and Tommy Pittaway 3^rd. The final race for the Big Wheels and another win for Mitchell Warhurst, 2^nd for Kyde Marlow and 3^rd for Tommy Pittaway.

 Scot Davidson powered his way to victory in the first Small Wheel 85cc group with Ethan Etheridge 2^nd and Jack Thompson 3^rd.  Race two and this time victory for Ethan Etheridge who scored his first ever race win ahead of Jack Thompson in 2^nd place and a cracking ride by Tyrone Brown to take the final podium spot.  The final race and Ethan decided he likes this winning lark by taking another well deserved race win from visiting Jack Thompson in 2^nd and a brilliant race by Morgan Rayns who snatched 3^rd place from Kieran Ryan.

 A bit of jet lag didn’t keep Jacob Russell from enjoying his day as this plucky little rider blew the opposition away by taking 3 excellent race wins in the Junior 65cc group despite Joshua Main trying his utmost best to beat him but in the end Joshua crossed the finish in 2^nd place for all 3 moto’s.  3^rd place in races 1 and 2 went to Harrison “Mop” Boam with Lewis Thompson taking the final 3^rd place in race 3.

 A good group of Auto riders ensured the racing would be top notch and they didn’t disappoint the large crowd of well wishers.  The cheering was for all the riders whether they were at the front or rear of the pack and must have powered these little stars of the future on.  Riley Harrison kept his cool throughout the day to take 3 excellent race wins.  Kyle Ingram took three great 2^nd places whilst Tyler Etheridge took 3^rd place in races 1 and 2 with Kayde Rayns taking the final podium position of the day in race 3.  Brilliant racing.

 Coventry Club would like to thank everyone for their support from the land owners , the medical crew, the diligent marshals, the riders and their families and finally Colin and Les and  the remaining small band of Officials of the club for a wonderful days racing and a great half year so far.
