However the Masters Round three clashes with the rearranged RBPN opener at Landrake,so at the time of going to press its uncertain which event Whatley and Battery Energy Pro MX2 leader Neville Bradshaw will be competing in. Should they decide to stay down South,then a new name will be topping the podium on this occasion and potentially taking home a £1,000 winners cheque!!.So at Whitby watch out for the likes of 2010 Masters double Champion Scott Elderfield,Matt Burrows and Ashley Greedy whilst Clinton Barrs looks likely to be the sole AMCA representive.

Already this season,the new Putoline backed Two-Stroke Masters as produced some great racing,with a superb full entry list at Foxhills.Currently topping the Two-Smokers in the MX1 contest is Matthew Moffat who bagged a very impressive maximum points score during round two and at present heads Daniel Brough,Joe Jones,Matthew Williamson and James Lassu.Over in MX2,young star Sam Winterburn leads the charge from Alex Davies,Cory Joe Nemeth and Rob Holyoake although it was Wiltshire based James Dunn who took top honours at Foxhills.

In the eight races completed so far,Moto-Pro Suspension BW85cc pace-setter Jordan Moxey has suffered just one defeat.That one reverse coming in the opening moto at Foxhills when he finished 3^rd behind Charlie Putman and Tyron Cleaver.Indeed  at present Cleaver is proving to be Moxey’s closest challenger with Oliver Benton,Luke Craig, Putman and Eddie Remmer also right in contention.Over in SW85cc,defending Champion Henry Siddiqui has made a very strong start to his title defence by earning the overall wins at both Mallory and Foxhills.Chasing hard though is Howard Wainwright,Matt Brame,Dion Lewis,Zak Watkins and Nathan Harlow.After missing round one,Taylor Hamill and Harry Kimber were both on the Foxhills podium and could dramatically improve their Championship hopes if they are competing again at Whitby!!.

What an interesting contest the Scott Acerbis Amateur MX1 class is proving to be!!.Already Darryl Maxwell(2), Glenn Fletcher(2),Lewis King(2),Dexter Marks(1) and Jamie Dobson(1) have scorched to moto wins.In the title race,its Maxwell leading the way,17 points ahead of Luke Meredith,Matthew Thomas,Marks,Dobson and Ricky Lethaby.

With eight motos completed,Jake Alsop currently tops the Michelin MX1 class having suffered just one defeat along the way.Jake’s single reverse came in the very first race of the season at Mallory as he chased home Shaun Scrivens,William Orritt,Samuel Kirby and Sam Chapman.After the opening two rounds,both Kirby and Orritt have proved to be serious challengers with Jamie Wilson,Ashley Dabell and Tom Davis also holding down impressive top six Championship positions.

The closest AMCA Wulfsport British Masters contest at present is without doubt the Michelin MX2 class.After two rounds,Adam Wells and Emerson Jones are level at the top of the standings.Indeed in the eight races so far,Wells and Jones have proved their dominance by filling the top two moto finishing positions on each occasion.At present in Michelin MX2,Aidan Wigger holds 3^rd in the standings ahead of Adam Constable,James Milne and Mitch Brooks.

One again Whatley blasted his PAR Honda to both MX1 wins,picking up another cool £1,000 cheque whilst Bradshaw on his Evotech Stevens Honda just edged out the flying local Swindon lad James Dunn to take MX2 honours.Also hitting the headlines at the former GP circuit were both Matt Moffat(Putoline Two-stroke) and Jake Alsop(Michelin Masters MX1) as they blasted to impressive,unbeaten class wins.

With a large crowd looking on,there was to be early drama in the opening Battery Energy Drink supported Pro contest as one of the expected favourites,Stephen Sword was forced out on lap one with a puncture.Although Swordy did rejoin the contest following a quick wheel change,his race was over as the immaculate Whatley stormed to victory.The ride of the moto though belonged to young Dunn,hanging onto a brilliant 2^nd spot aboard his HM Plant KTM ahead of Bradshaw,Moffat,Scott Elderfield and Graeme Irwin.

Desperate to make amends,Swordy was very quick out of the trap in moto two,leading the opening couple of laps before that man Whatley again took control.On lap seven,Bradshaw then also overhauled Sword and that’s the way it remained right to the flag.With another super charge,Dunn moved from 9^th up to 4^th and was even rapidly reeling in Swordy as Josh Waterman,Irwin,Luke Hawkins,James Cotteral,Elderfield and Moffat held down top ten positions and were always in contention.Clinton Barrs,Sean Frayne and Paul Neale all represented the AMCA in the Foxhills Pro racing with Barrs 10^thoverall in MX1 whilst over in MX2,Frayne was 13^th and Neale 14^th,all three lads giving a very good account of themselves.

And,what a contrast in racing conditions the two day’s of round one were to produce!!.Following a dry Saturday in which the going was ideal,the weather then turned decidedly Wintry as the temperature dropped and rain/sleet fell both overnight and almost continuously during Sunday to leave the circuit extremely heavy but still remarkably raceable!!.Indeed that dramatic change was to prove a major examination of both a riders physical and mental strength with most having their first competitive action of the new season.However typical of the great AMCA Masters spirit that prevails,the riders, officials,marshalls and medical crews then just dug deeper and remained totally united in helping to ensure that the round one programme was completed!!.

With backing from Battery Energy Drink,for the first time at a Masters event,Pro MX1 and Pro MX2 rubbed shoulders in the same unlimited motos.Leading the muddy charge in moto one was Welshman Ashley Greedy followed by Kristian Whatley,James Cottrell,Scott Elderfield,Matt Burrows,Bryan MacKenzie and Darren Coutts whilst other expected front runners,Gert Krestinov and Neville Bradshaw surprisingly found themselves down in 12th and 19th places respectively!!.For the next two laps,Cottrell then splashed his way to the front to replace Greedy before Whatley then quickly became the third different pacesetter.From here onwards,the PAR Honda rider Whatley controlled proceedings all the way to the chequered flag with Cottrell and Coutts in tow.During an incident packed encounter,Bradshaw got back to a superb 4th ahead of Burrows and Krestinov,Greedy dropped to 7th,Elderfield disappeared from proceedings and MacKenzie the 2011 Masters Champion slipped back to 27th before eventually finishing 19th!!.

Buoyed by that moto one win,Whatley made a great start in moto two,bagging the holeshot and leading the opening five laps.However right on his tail this time was a very determined MacKenzie,desperate to make amends for that lowly opening race finishing position.On lap six,Bryan cleverly out-foxed Kristian to take control as Bradshaw now joined the party for the race leadership.In a great three way tussle,the pressure was on to win that £500 prize for the first rider past the post and once again the money was going to Whatley’s back pocket with Bradshaw nicking 2nd from MacKenzie.Just behind the flying front three was an equally intriguing tussle featuring Krestinov,Greedy and Cottrell which raged right to the finish line,the honours going to Krestinov.Completing the top ten in this contest was Burrows,Matthew Moffat,Coutts and Ray Rowson whilst on both occasions,MX2 pilot Sean Frayne was to be the first AMCA rider home,bagging impressive 15th and 20th places .

Testing his endurance to the max,Matthew Moffat also competed in the new Putoline 2-Stroke Masters and eventually went onto earn the overall win..Taking the first victory though of the weekend was Wiltshire HM Plant KTM pilot James Dunn with James Lassu,Daniel Brough,Moffat,Sam Winterburn and Harry Lawerence in tow.In moto two,Moffat then outgunned Dunn before it was all change on that wet second day of action.With Dunn deciding to sit out proceedings and concentrate on his Pro class outings,Sunday’s 2-Stroke moto wins went to Brough and Moffat.Brough’s victory in the mud helped ensure that he would join Moffat on the podium,joined by runner-up Lassu.

Going for a MXY2 title treble,Gloucestershire youngster Dan Thornhill began his campaign in the best style possible by earning the GSP Race Products sponsored event overall verdict at Mallory.In moto one of the weekend though it was Jay Thomas the 2011 Championship runner-up who was first past the post with Thornhill a close 2nd as Matthew Callaghan,Chase Neale,Reece Desoer and Dima Fircks completed the top six.In moto’s two and three,the immaculate Thornhill took both the wins before an eventful final clash!.In moto four,twice Dan worked his way to the front only to crash!!.So,at the flag the victory belonged to Zac Alsop as Thornhill regained his composure to edge out Desoer for 2nd.Alsop’s last race win also ensured that he would join the podium party!!.

Whilst Whatley bagged both Pro class wins,the only other rider to remain unbeaten at Mallory was Jordan Moxey who blasted to a brilliant maximum score in the combined Moto-Pro Suspension Mini-Masters contest. Young Moxey made a mockery of the prevailing conditions throughout the weekend as Charlie Putnam and Oliver Benton proved to be his closest challengers and also earn the remaining BW85CC podium places. Tyron Cleaver,Eddie Remmer and Luke Craig also impressed in this opening round.Over in SW85cc,2011 Champion Henry Siddiqui started the defence of his title with a very impressive performance to finish level on points at the top of the standings with Howard Wainwright.However crucially,young Wainwright bagged the final moto win of the weekend,a result which also ensured that he would lift the first place trophy whilst Matt Brame completed the podium.

What about the Amateur classes then?,well in an incredible Scott Acerbis MX1 contest,Lewis King started with a lowly 24th spot in moto one but still went onto take the overall win.Following that opener in which victory was secured by Jamie Dobson ahead of Darryl Maxwell,Luke Meredith and Luke Spence,King was to recover in style.After taking 2nd spot behind Glenn Fletcher in moto two,King then splashed to both race wins on the Sunday.Joining a delighted King on the podium was Meredith and Ricky Lethaby,the 2011 Raceworld.com Amateur MX2 Champion. Now sponsored by Zook Clothing,who would take the first honours in the always competitive Amateur MX2 class?. Well it was to be Midlands based youngster Jack Cox,a rider who will also be attempting to qualify for the main AMCA MX2 British Championships in 2012.With an impressive 1/2/4/1 scorecard,Cox was the main man in this Zook opener as TM kid Charles Statt and Rocket Centre Honda pilot Ryan Crowder bagged the remaining moto wins.Showing though that consistency is always the motocross keyword,the runners-up slot on the box instead belonged to Edward Briscoe as Lancastrian Crowder had to settle for 3rd.

Once again Michelin have very kindly backed the Masters series,supporting both MX1 and MX2 Amateur classes in 2012.Shaun Scrivens were first past the post in the opening MX1 bash chased by William Orritt,Samuel Kirby,Sam Chapman and Jake Alsop.With Scrivens then having a no-score against his name in the next clash,from here onwards it was to be the Alsop show!.Dominating proceedings,Jake bagged a moto win hat-trick to deservedly claim the round one overall from Kirby and Orritt.As for Scrivens,well another no-score in the last moto pushed him back to 15th place in the final standings!!.Over in Michelin MX2,Emerson Jones and Adam Wells rather dominated the Mallory proceedings by filling the top two places in all four clashes.Jones(3) and Wells(1) bagged the wins,being finally joined on the podium by Tom Smith who was equally impressive and boasting a 4/3/5/3 record.Also starting their Michelin MX2 title quest with strong performances were Adam Constable,Aidan Wigger and James Milne.

For the lads missing out on the main Amateur classes at Mallory,they were able to enjoy four Non-Qualifiers races,the overall verdict going to Stephen Goodwin ahead of Paul Lloyd and Oliver Claxton.With the Mallory action wrapped up,the AMCA Wulfsport Masters now moves to Culham on Easter Weekend for what is sure to be a feast of highly competitive Pro,Youth and Amateur motocross racing!!.
