Silkolene Short Track UK championship
CCM riders dominate the fourth round of the Silkolene Short
Track UK championship
CCM factory riders Lee Complin and Andrew Moore dominated
the fourth round of the Silkolene Short Track UK championship
held at Mildenhall Stadium last Saturday night, when they
brought home their FT35R’s in first and second positions
respectively.
With Moore having crashed out of contention at the previous
round at Peterborough whilst leading, both riders were under
strict instructions to deliver the results that they were
obviously capable of this time around.
Neither disappointed as they progressed with ease and growing
confidence through the heats having now found the perfect
set up for the FT35R, which is still in its infancy in terms
of racing at this level.
Complin showed great control and maturity as he followed
current championship leader Darren Pearson home in the first
semi to secure his place on the front row for the final. Moore
went one better in the second semi to take the win from the
far more experienced series contender Peter Boast to book
his place in the final alongside his younger team mate.
The Grand Final was CCM all the way as Complin got off the
line well to lead from the start to the finish, to record
his first major win in only his fourth serious outing. Moore
was the prefect team mate and tucked in behind Lee to make
it a CCM factory 1-2 despite the recently retired elite speedway
rider coming under pressure from both Boast and Pearson. The
challenge on Moore came in the early laps before the CCM duo
stretched their advantage to come home well clear of the rest
of the field.
CCM’s Race Team Manager Austin Clews was obviously
delighted with the squad’s results. “I think we
have shown our true potential today, if we continue like that
for the rest of the series we have a real chance of achieving
our goal and winning the championship.”
Complin now holds second place in the overall standings,
five points behind Pearson, whilst Moore moves up to ninth
just behind reigning champion Belli, despite having not competed
in the opening two rounds.
