Scottish Youth Motocross Club Round 6

Report

     Well, what an end to the motocross season... SYMCC ran round 6, the final round of its Club championship, at Shiplaw Farm, near Peebles in the Scottish Borders. All riders turned up looking for vital points to wrap up their positions in the championship. The track looked very well prepared but with a few days of rain during the week leading up to the event, the track was wet to start with, but the weather held up – the sun came out and the track began to dry out through the day(although was quite rough by then!)

     First out to challenge the wet and slippery track were the auto's. Daniel Chisholm won all three races, to take the days overall. Jordan Gill was chasing behind, but couldn't quite catch Chisholm, and took second overall after securing second in two of the three races. Dylan Graham took the third spot.

     In the 65cc class, Elaine MacEachern took the days overall with two race wins. Second and third positions were decided by the third race, after Aaron MacDonald and Lewis Campbell were tied on points. MacDonald took the higher position, and the second overall. Campbell finished in third.

     The overall in the 85SW class was taken by Reece Wilson, with two race wins. Frazer Pohlen secured second place, with two second place finishes. Greg Queen took the third race win, but it wasn't enough to catch Pohlen, and ended in third overall.

     Stuart Robertson secured the overall in the 85BW class, by one point over Ian Stewart – who took second place, and two of the race wins. Andrew McNicol rode consistently with three third places, to take third overall.

     The Youth 125/250F class seen the most action throughout the day. Hannah McLeod looked to be in control after taking the first race win, but bike problems cut her day short. Stewart Treloar took the further two race wins to take the days overall. Jason Moore took the second overall. Blane McNally tried hard to pull back needed point after a poor first race – but just wasn't enough, ending 1 point behind Moore, and taking third overall.

     The Adult 125 class was won by Steven Craig, who took two of three race wins after battling hard with David Houston. Houston finished in second, and took the other race win. Steven Sangster took two third place race finishes, to take the third spot overall.

     The Adult Open class was dominated by Richard Houston, who took all three race wins. Second and third places were a bit closer, Ian Wilson and Paul Benham finished all three races with equal points, but Wilson finished with the higher placing in the third race to take the second overall. Benham finished in third.

     Well done to all championship riders this year. Club trophy's will be handed out at the presentation dance, to be held alongside the SACU YMX, GYMCC and Borders MX club presentation. Presentation is to be held at the Keavil House Hotel in Crossford, Dunfermline on Saturday 28th November. Tickets are priced at £20.00 for adults and £12.00 for under 12's and are available from club secretary's.

Borders Motocross Club Round 3 Report

     Borders Motocross Club held round three of its five round club championship, at Duns in the Scottish Borders. The track is being prepared for the Maxxis next month, and looked fantastic – despite being a little soaked from the heavy rain the night before the meeting, and the showers which continued through the day. The rain didn't put off many of the entrants, and the day was set for a fun days racing ahead.

     The organisers decided it would be best to let the adults loose on the track first. The adult class was looking to be dominated again by Graham Blacklock, who took both wins in the first two races but a DNF in the third race, meant he dropped down the points. Dale McAulay took the third race win, and two second places from the first two races meant he took the overall for the day. Jason Martin took third overall with consistent riding in the wet conditions.

     The Over 35's were raced alongside the adults class, Mark Dempsey took the overall for them, with three wins. Paul White was second, and Stuart Foster took the third spot.

     The normal programme followed for the rest of the day, and the auto's were next to tackle muddy and wet circuit. Scott Russell showed some impressive riding given the conditions, and took the win in all three races. Jordan Gill finished second, and also took second in two of the three races. Lyle Crothers had the third overall.

     Elaine MacEachern showed the boys how its done in the 65cc class, opening up some huge gaps, as much as 40 seconds, between her and the rest of the class. She took three straight race wins and the overall. Aaron MacDonald and Ryan Archibald rode consistently throughout the day, and took second and third consecutively.

     The small wheel 85cc class was won by Greg Queen – who took all three race wins. Jack Taylor, Robbie Fifer and Connor Curran was left to battle for second and third places. Jack Taylor took most points, with two second place finishes, to take the second place. However, after all three races, Robbie Fifer and Connor Curran were tied on points, but a second place in the first race meant Fifer would take the third place.

     The 85cc big wheel class was won by Stuart Robertson, who opened up comfortable gaps and rode consistently, taking three race wins. Sean Williamson dropped points in the second race, but picked up enough points in the third race to pip Andrew McNicoll to the second place, McNicoll took third.

     In the youth 125cc class, Stewart Treloar took the overall with two race wins, pulling a near 30 second lead over second placed Harry Cooper in the third race. Cooper took the first race win, but had to settle for second place overall. Scott Foote rode consistently in all three races, taking three third places, and the third overall.

     The youth 250F class had a poor turnout, with only two riders, and was run along side the youth 125cc class. Bob Jack took two of the race wins, to get the overall. Dylan Annand took the other race win, and the runner-up position.

     The British Maxxis Round 7 heads to Duns on the 23rd of August. Borders Motocross Club holds Round 4 of its club championship on September 13th.
