Midlands Super Series Rnd 6 'The Final', Kinnerton

The final round of the Midlands Super series had riders rolling into Kinnerton to enjoy a weekend of fantastic racing and Steves trademark campfire. The race was buzzing with a massive turnout of riders; plenty of tractors where on hand to whisk you to the top lucky riders managed to get several runs in on Saturdays practice day.

The sun was shining on Sunday morning but conditions where tricky with some sections being axle deep in mud, after the pouring rain of the days before. Digging out your Mud tyres was the order of the day. On track where the mud stopped the super slick roots saw you pinging off all over the shop. The track was very hard to ride well with every section offering a new challenge, finding the right line and keeping the flow going was a must.

Team rider Matt Simmonds used his local knowledge to his advantage taking the Elite win in the racing. When the points where tallied up he ended the series in fourth place.

Joe Smith set the fastest Youth time in run one but a slip up at the start of the course saw him lose the flow he took to the podium in second only four seconds of Sam dale on the top spot. Joe took second overall in the series missing out on a trophy by only a few points.

Fergus Lamb had made the long drive down from Scotland for this round and left with a smile on his face taking the number one spot in the Experts and a bottle of Fenwicks with him.

Well done guys for a great weekends riding, that ends the 2006 Midland Series until things start again next year. Well see you there.
