| 5 laps of a
very bumpy virgin course , new for 2005 tested the riders to the full. Graham
Dickens/CATS led the starting charge with a fine turn of speed as the pack sped
off wary of the battle for early places in the narrow wood sections. Adi Scott soon took over again, and threatened a repeat of last weeks huge lead, but Kristian Bravin /Websters and Phil Hughes had other ideas and bridged the gap after the first lap. A numplumz trio of Nigel Scott, leading Jack Peterson and Junior Ian Whatling were up next with Paul Robertson/Treads close behind. Adi and Kristian circulated together for the whole race, and it came down to a final sprint finish which Adi grabbed by a wheel for his second race win on the trot, series hopes now growing. Taking over 3rd from half distance Paul Robertson celebrated his first Friday night series podium by beating series leader Hughes (4th) well as he kept the leaders in sight all race. Phil could not keep off charging JP who led the vets from start to finish and was storming to take the Vets win, as the 4th man over the line on the night. Gary Hill gave chase early on but could not sustain the pace and faded to 3rd as Keith Sperry took second. That's 2 wins each for Sperry and Peterson as the Vets series hots up. Ian Ian Whatling finally scored a long anticipated win over Lewis for the Junior race, keeping up his great start to trouble the top seniors all race. Carrie Carruthers again dominated the ladies field for the win. |
