MSS Rnd 4 Caersws, Wales

The fourth round of the Midlands super series at Caersws saw another dry and dusty race, one for all you fans of the drift. Racing took place on the old track with a few changes made to keep riders on their toes. A fast rolling super technical challenge, mixed up with big open jump sections for variety.

The track was super steep and dusty all very loose and sketchy in places, following people down in practice you had no chance of seeing any obstacles as roots, rocks and bumps where all obscured behind clouds of dust; you dont see that every day. With loads of lovely corners which you could; yes you guessed it drift round all flat out. With a very efficient uplift running the only thing limiting the number of practice runs available was You!.

Conditions stayed perfectly dry and dusty for the racing despite the best efforts of a downpour on Saturday evening.

It was a good weekend for the team with Jo Smith making best use of his local knowledge, posting a time not far off the Elites and taking the win by two seconds over Sam Dale.

Jules Coventry took first in Master Womens, taking the win by 10 seconds this weekend over second placed Renee Diwell, with a time of 3.14.1.

Team Mechanic Steve Parr took a well deserved second place only a few seconds off the top step in Veterans between Martin Crockett in first and Keith Wilson in third.

Matt Kemp of astonhill/Ancillotti was also in attendance riding hard to take seventeenth in the ultra competitive senior category.

Well done guys, roll on round five which will be taking place at the newly built track at Kinnerton on the weekend of August 26 th.
