Lovely Saturday
afternoon but a very poor turn-out for this event. Perhaps
most of the competitors were on holiday, or perhaps it was
because of a clash with an Open 10 on the fast V718 course
on the A63. Whatever the reason, lots of people were 'on Jankers'
Conditions
for the race were very hot with a strong blustery wind hindering
riders in every direction except the downhill stretch to the
South Dalton turn.
With
James Frith and Neil Cleminshaw not competing, Dave Shackleton
turned out the victor as expected taking nearly three quarters
of a minute out of second placed Tim White. Tim improved by
43 second from his last event on this course whereas Dave
went back by 59 seconds. Dave takes the Phillips Cup.
The
two lap race was won by Nathan Wilson from Andy Peers. Andy
thought it was only a one lap race and needed some encouragement
to go round a second time.were
