Wow..... Scottish Mini Moto Championship at Karting North East,Warden Law on Sunday.
Alan McIntosh of Polini UK brought the championship south, over the border and allowed the BikeWise Mini Bike Club with support from the Durham Agency Against Crime, Durham Advanced Motorcyclists & HM Plant Ltd, to host Round 3 of the championship, giving our local riders from the BikeWise Mini Bike club the opportunity to compete against our friends from Scotland.
Approx forty riders signed on to compete in the various classes and the paddock area was packed with 'motorhomes' !! (Almost like a BSB paddock)
It was a great atmosphere with bikes being worked on and riders discussing gearing, the track, tactics etc....
Lots of friends and family members turned up to watch our young racers and quite a few motorcyclists came along to watch the racing and we were not let down.
The grid for Junior A was particularly impressive with about twenty riders lining up.
Racing was close and the weather initially was sunny and hot. A small shower delayed racing for about ten minutes and held out until late in the afternoon when with about three races to go the heavens opened without warning and we were hit by monsoon like rain.
Racing was abandoned on safety grounds although one or two took the opportunity to practice / ride their bikes on wet tyres for a few laps.
Trophies were awarded to first, second & third in classes and all riders who were riding in the championship received a medal and a framed John McGuinness photograph (John is a great supporter of the BWMBC)
A fantastic afternoons riding, well done to everyone who took part, you represented everything that's good about motorcycling.
