Wulfsport British Masters Motocross Championship

Glorious sunshine all weekend saw the Wulfsport British Masters Championship move north to the picturesque Dean Moor Moto Park in West Cumbria. The track beautifully prepared by the Fulton family during the week, and with plenty of water on standby the scene was set.  The PAR Homes Honda duo of Brad Anderson and Scott Elderield arrived and announced that they would both be competing in both the MX1 and MX2 classes on Sunday. They were up against the LPE Kawasaki Rider Kristian Whatley in the MX1 Class, and also up against the Relentless Suzuki rider Martin Barr who was coming to ride at Dean Moor for the first time, who also did both classes. A host of other top riders made the journey north and some fantastic racing was witnessed. 

 

PRO- MX1

Anderson took the holeshot in race one, only to be denied it by a false start, so all the riders re grouped at the start to try again, But Anderson this time missed the start, while starting his bike and was last going into the first bend. Glenn Phillips was first into the corner this time and was closely followed by Jamie Law, Lloyd Vercueil, and Martin Barr, but Kristian Whatley was flying through the field as was Anderson, Whatley took over at the front, with law on his tail, and Elderfield closing in on him. Anderson was closing in and a battle was witnessed for quite a few laps till Anderson took over and took the win, Whatley settled for second and Law claimed third with Elderfield in fourth.  Race two and Anderson made no mistake this time and headed the field from start to finish to claim his second win and the overall, Whatley settled for second again and claimed the second overall, but the battle was on for third overall as Elderfield and Vercueil battled it out in race two to take the third place, Elderfield finally got it and third overall, with Jamie Law taking the fourth placing on the day.

 

PRO-MX2

Anderson continued his race wins in the MX2 class by taking both races with ease, In Race one he took off and left the rest to fight for the places, Joe Dark, Elderfield and Martin Barr were dicing and changing places all through the race, and it was Dark who clinched the second place just ahead of Elderfield and Barr in third and fourth.

Race two and with Anderson out in front again and on his way to the overall and a big pay day, again it was Barr, Elderfield, Dark and Tommy Fenwick who were fighting for places. Barr won the war and claimed second, ahead of Elderfield in third, Dark just got the fourth from Fenwick who claimed fifth. Barr claimed the second overall, with Dark and Elderfield in third and fourth.

Luke Norris continued his lead in the Championship, by taking three of the four race wins in the Big Wheel 85 class, only losing out on race one which was won by Scotland’s Matthew Fleming, who took the start to finish win, but he hit problems with his bike in race two and took no further part in the weekends racing. Jay Thomas clinched the second place after some good races, while third place overall was took by Dillon Polson.
