Results Peak Classic Round 6 Club Championship Bracken Rocks Sunday 29Th July

[old trials fanatic]

It was great to see so many new faces at Round 6 of the Club Championship held at Bracken Rocks last Sunday 29^th July. The weather forecast foretold of showers around midday however these seemed to bypass around this ever popular Derbyshire Peak District venue and the 4 laps of 10 sections stayed dry all day. The sections were mostly flowing turns around and over the granite rock steps and boulders that give this venue it’s name.

The Expert Twinshock route was won decisively by Dave Devereaux on his immaculate Beamish Suzuki with a loss of just the one. His single dab coming on section 3 a deceptively difficult rock strewn slot. Well worth making the long journey to sample the Derbyshire rockery eh Dave? Snapping at his heels were local hot shots Mark Hallows who lost 3 on his Majesty and Rob Carson taking third on his TY200 losing 4.

Mark Weston on his Gas Gas was one of only two riders to record clean sheets on the day Mark taking the honours in the Expert Pre95 Air Cooled Mono class and in total contrast as far as machines are concerned evergreen local trials ace Peter Carson also kept his feet firmly on the pegs all day on his rigid BSA Bantam to win the Classic Expert British Bike category most convincingly.

In the Classic Expert Twinshock class Ashley Hallows had a great ride on his Yamaha 250 to secure the honours losing just the one mark from an on form Anthony Sprinks, Bultaco, who lost 5 marks with good friend Ian Bend also Bultaco mounted close behind on 7 marks.

A ride most definitely worthy of mention was that of Colin Fray on his very std looking Dot c/w leading link forks who took the win in the Intermediate British Bike class loosing a credible 24 marks. Well done Colin it’s no mean feat muscling that beast around.

Gary Shield took the top spot for Intermediate Twinshock riders on his Bultaco for a miserly 5 marks.

Classic Intermediate British Bike was a close fought fight with Neil Walker, Francis Barnett, just taking it from Paul Beswick, James. Both riders lost just the one mark both on section 6 but Paul lost his on lap 1 and Neil on lap 2 so Neil takes it on furthest clean. That’s tight!

Andrew Slack took an easy win in Classic Intermediate Twinshock on his Fantic losing just 2 from Colin Slater, Bultaco, on 22.

Jim Wickstead had a “Grand day out” on his BSA B40 taking the win in the Clubman British Bike class for a loss of 19 marks and his son Sean Wickstead, Honda, fought long and hard all day in the Clubman Twinshock class to lose just 3 marks all on section 6 a trip over the rocks and tree roots with a rocky climb that penalised any lapse of concentration. Sadly Seans efforts were just pipped by Mark Newman Fantic mounted who took the honours losing just a solitary dab also on section 6.

The final class win up for grabs was the Clubman Pre95 Air Cooled Mono class which was taken by Graham Lyons on his Honda losing just the 6 marks.

So all in all another successful round of the Club Championship consigned to the record books and focus moves forward to Dudwood Farm for round 7 on the 19^th August start time 11.00 see you there. For more details and Championship updates visit our website www.peakclassic.co.uk
