MAXIMUM SOLUTIONS BRITISH MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIPS
The British Fourstroke/Ray Hockey Racing under 21/
Maximum Sidecars
Sunday 7th August - Cleobury Mortimer
The British MMX Championship Fourstroke series is certainly
proving to be a tough series. With Brad Anderson (O'Neal Yamaha),
Wayne Smith (Innovate Honda), Mark Jones (EA/Dirtbike Store
KTM), Glen Phillips (O'Neal Yamaha), Alex Rach (Innovate Honda)
and David Campbell head into the sixth round of the series
battling for the lead. Reigning champion Campbell has some
ground to make up as the leading five move away in the points
standings. Less than forty points cover the top five and the
season so far has seen a mixed array of winners and results,
as they head into the sixth round of eight the title is still
all to play for.
The Ray Hockey Racing Under 21 series is being dominated
by future British Motocross superstar Tommy Searl (Molson
Kawasaki). Tommy has won most of the races in this series
and the young rider who is fresh from his three European Championship
wins last weekend will be looking for another double race
win in this series. Lewis Gregory and John May are chasing
Searl at the top, the Suzuki Maximum Solutions riders lie
second and third in the series and race wins in their sponsors
back yard is what they need to boost their charge for the
top. Dan Johnston (Poole Racing Yamaha) lies in fourth place
chased by Jim Murro (Sandiford Honda) another rider fresh
from the European championship podium.
The Maximum Solutions sidecar series sees Stuart Brown and
Jason Peters leading the series but International competition
from Conny and Jo Strandborg from Sweden and from Holland
Thij and Roy Dirks should push them hard. Home competition
will come from Scott Wilkinson and Gary Burt and the 'totally
mad' Watson brothers from Cumbria, the young team still under
20 continues to get the occasional result mingled with explosive
crashes. Maximum Solutions boss Stuart Lines and Mike Stones
currently hold third place and will be the local team to support.
Timed qualification starts at 9.30am and racing at 12.30pm
at Hungry Hill farm Cleobury Mortimer, the event is promoted
by the Oxford Ixion and Chalgrove clubs for information contact
