HOT off THE PRESS........

------------------------------------------------------

We are looking at a private 2st day at a seriously nice sand track in the south-east, we will have spaces for 50 riders only, it will be open to all 2st riders esspecially the regular crew, payment will have to be made before we accept booking as there were a few riders not turning up at the last 2st day which stopped others attending !  More info will be posted soon.

-------------------------------------------------------

Whitby, saw some great 2st action and the full report is now listed, Pondo was in full effect and has some great pic's too.  Get well soon Lloyd Morgan who took a big hit today.

------------------------------------------------------

ELSWORTH 2ST DAY :  A BIG Thank you to everyone who attended the event, very special thanks go to Andy Lee and all the staff for working with us on this project and allowing us a day of our own, and for running an open circuit with no groups as everyone was happy going on and off as they pleased, and delivering a fully prepped circuit, how nice that looked today ! . Some great riding today without any incidents too, a perfect hassle free day of 2st fun. We did have a few photographers there today and we'll get links to their sites real soon, but for now here's a link to some Karen snapped off.

Thanks to all the 1st timers at Elsworth today and here's the circuits contact number as promised, so you can check opening times as you all asked to return soon, call Andy on 01480831152 and tell him you rode the 2st event !   

-----------------------------------------------------

Jim Davies  Got that monkey off his back after taking the overall at Landrake, the TMUK flyer has been on a mission this year and apart from some biased officials decieding against him at an earlier event he would of took an overall there too !  The West London racer has stepped up to the plate as sole TMUK pilot and has lifted his game to a new high, that TM sure makes things look easy for him as it howls around the circuit although he may say its him !  WELL DONE Jim lad, its about time dude and yes you do owe me a beer ! 

-----------------------------------------------------

WELL DONE   Ryan Houghton taking the overall at this weeks BYMX BW85 class at Little Silver with a great  3rd, 1st, 1st, 1st,1st score against some rather fast and expensive 150f machines  Ryan piloted his 85 KTM as if it was on rails, also great results from other 2st racers there saw, Jake Millward nail 2nd o-a and the flying Ben Howell nailing 4th, infact 7 of the top ten were 2sts !  Well done lads.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Landrake promised to deliver so much for round 4 of the 09 series, and what was delivered was a spectacle, Pondo's report is loaded with some great shots with another ''disc-full'' being sent as we speak. Jim Davies has revelled in his capacity as lead TM pilot as we're missing JP at the moment, Jim has jumped to take the lead in the standings, Dave 'iron-man' Willet susstained a bad eye injury and had to call a halt to racing for the day. No doubt the Yamaha man will be hungry on his return !.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Congratulations  to young Michael Hughes for his great ride at his first ever 2st Championship, he raced his 144 KTM to a fine 3rd overall in the open class !  Also the 'Iron Man' Willet who pulled yet another great 125 overall win and what would of surley been an open win without being collected in a first corner pile-up and starting well down the feild and with machine problems sustained happering his progress, the competition must be going green with envy. One rider out of luck was TM's Jim Davies who just missed taking the 125 overall after a yellow flag incident were he was penalised 1 minute. 

----------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry to inform everyone who may of wanted to race the 2st class at the Eastern Centre evening series but due to plain lack of interest we have deceided to cancel the 2st class and the programme will be as usual.

There will be one block of 2st's and its first come 1st served, any late entries will have to go into the open class !  Race dates are as follows, Wakes = 17th June, Diss = 1st July and Blaxhall = 15th July. 

125mx.com are offering some overall prizes including sponsorship packages with the help of Motul, ProX, Lazer and Talon, details will be finalised soon as we continue to support 2st racers, 

------------------------------------------------------------------

Joel 'mini rocket' Reynolds  has pulled a holeshot on his new Suzuki, good luck JR and lets see more of those, mum, dad and brother are looking for an ear plug sponsor for the ride home !    And here's a pic to prove the holeshot !

------------------------------------------------------------------

85cc Flyer & premix junkie,  Ryan Houghton Did not catch a breath after winning the BYMX event in sunny Scotland as he collected fresh supplies on route to the European Youth Championship in Poland, he qualified 8th in his group and went on to score a 16th after hitting the gate in the first moto, and the nailed a fine 5th in the second moto. This rising 2st star has a bright 125cc future ahead of him for sure and the 2010 125 GP series is calling !

-----------------------------------------------------------------

As you know we preach  the premix to everyone and one young racer by the name of Connor Walkley has just got a shiney new 250 2st, Connor who ripped apart the UK youth scene on a Kawasaki 125cc has jumped up to the youth open this year, and the 250 2st is being prepared for future events and we hope this young racer is out on it soon, as he is one lad that can still race a 2st.  It will be good to get next years 250cc class going so we can see some 2 v 4st battles, very interesting times ahead indeed.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Round 3 from Caistor  We will have report soon along with results, our roving reporter 'Pondo' had offered a helping hand to Adrian Jessop who had a nasty crash early into the event, Pondo's ever helpful response was to help load AJ's van and also attend the hospital for a while. Hope your not to sore AJ and we'll see you soon mate, Pondo your a star.

------------------------------------------------------------------

GET WELL SOON  Here's a shout out to Dave Greenwood who was involved in a crash at Cusses, its from Walker, Budge, Hel-yer, Tablit, Claxton, all of the guys at 125mx.com and all of ya mates and fellow riders. Also  special thanks to Gareth at pro-decals for sorting out the stickers at such short notice. Josh Walker said he saw Dave yesterday and he was waiting to go home, Dave's looking stronger every day and will soon be wide open on the factory sxs zimmer !   Here's to a speedy and full recovery mate.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Round 2 of the series from Cusses  The report and images from the latest round have been uploaded, so go check them out. Sadly missing from round 2 was series Champion Jon Pettit who we all had hoped would be back racing after missing the first round due to an injury, sadly this injury was far worse than we all expected and Jon may miss a big chunk of the 09 season, get well soon mate and all the best from all your mates at the series.
