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 2nd and a brilliant first time back from injury for Charlie Sutton ensured he took 3rd. 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 2nd and 3rd again for Charlie Sutton. The final race and another win for Daniel Neale, 2nd for Joe Tobutt and a 3rd place hat-trick for Charlie Sutton.

Race two and this time victory for Ethan Etheridge who scored his first ever race win ahead of Jack Thompson in 2nd 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 2nd and a brilliant race by Morgan Rayns who snatched 3rd 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 2nd place for all 3 moto’s. 3rd place in races 1 and 2 went to Harrison “Mop” Boam with Lewis Thompson taking the final 3rd 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 2nd places whilst Tyler Etheridge took 3rd place in races 1 and 2 with Kayde Rayns taking the final podium position of the day in race 3. Brilliant racing.
