2008 Season Introduction

With only three weeks to go to the start of the Wulfsport British Masters Championship 2008 which begins at the popular GP track of Culham in Oxfordshire. We are proud to announce our new media sponsor of Moto Magazine for the 2008 Series, there will be up to date features from the Championship in this magazine, write up’s, photo’s from all the events and a column based on the British Masters. There will also be a stand at the meetings where you can purchase your monthly Moto magazine, tee shirts and promotional material.

With the new four-race format which was introduced this Season for the Youth and Amateur Classes we foresee some great racing over the two days. We also have the return of the Pro Classes on the Saturday where the qualifying and practice will take place. This will make for a very busy and star packed weekend.

First on the line on Saturday will be the 85cc Class with last years third place rider, Ben Howell, hoping to take the crown for 2008. In the BW Class we see 2007 winner Bradley Pocock and second place rider Luke Norris taking on the BW regulars, such as Luke Hawkins and frequent podium visitor Rob Muscat back from injury.

We then move on to the 125cc Youth Class with Mel Pocock who will hope to lead the field along with Ben Griffiths and Ryan Pottenger. In the Amateur 125cc Class last years winner, Owen Delaney has moved to the Pro Class along with second place rider Sam Simmons. So there should be a new Champion this season. With the 2007 Open Class Champion James Shaw moving down a Class we could see some very close racing with riders such as David Blackburn and regular Masters supporter Phillip Pearsall.

We then move on to the Amateur Open, with no James Shaw, Matty Lee or Ben Smith this year could be anyone’s with riders like Barry Teasdale and 2005 Champion, Chris Brightmore, and top Youth rider Gavin Corsi along with young Stockport rider Dean Haughton. It should make for interesting racing.

The Pro 125cc Class is next with 2007 winner Ashley Greedy defending his title but will face stiff competition from Kristian Whatley, Luke Remmer, Shane Carless, Lewis King, Jack Hawes and 2007 Amateur 125cc Champion Owen Delaney to name but a few. The Pro Open Class has Brad Anderson moving into the GP’s for 2008 and we wish him the best of luck. This means there will be a new Champion for this Class with Mark Hucklebridge, Danny Smyth, Alex Rach, Glen Phillips, Wayne Smith and AMCA Champion David Campbell.

We will have our usual marquee, karaoke bar and disco on the Saturday evening with our host, Big Bob. There will be several trade stands and caterers present through the weekend and we would like to thank all of our sponsors who are supporting us for the 2008 Series, Wulfsport, Mitchelin Tyres, CTI Knee Braces, Moto Magazine, GSP Racing Products, TMX and Dirt Bike Rider.

2008 British Masters

The AMCA office has seen a big influx of new riders registering for the British Masters Series in 2008. Registration forms were sent out on the 10th November and already we have a 35% increase at the same time last year. We are concerned that the riders who have supported us over the past five years may miss out on their registrations if they are not sent in shortly.

We are working on a first come – first served basis and with the new format which has been set up for the AMCA Championship riders in the Pro classes which should make for more exciting racing throughout these two classes. Also this year we have deliberately clashed with the Grand Prix races to ensure that our home grown riders who are not chosen for the Grad Prix can earn some serious prize money throughout the year with £72,000 up for grabs.

The classes catered for are SW85cc, BW85cc, Youth 125cc, Amateur 125cc, Amateur Open, Pro 125cc and Pro Open.
