Cumbria (7/18/2011) - The ACU Goldspeed
British Quadcross Championship visits the dramatic
hilltop setting of Dean Moor Motocross Park in Cumbria
this Sunday for round four of the adult championship
and youth round three. Hosted by the NETT Quad Championship,
this fast paced track with panoramic views of the
Lake District will provide a breathtaking backdrop
for another action packed day of racing.
The previous round took place on 2nd July in
Northern Ireland at the revamped Tinker Hill Motocross
Track. It was Paul Holmes who had the pace in
QMX1 as he took both the fastest time in free
practice and holeshot for race one. He pushed
hard and had created a 10 second lead over Mark
Watson and John Mitchell until he suffered a flat
tyre with only six laps remaining. As Holmes battled
to keep Watson from overtaking on the outside,
Mitchell took his chance on the penultimate lap
to overtake both riders on the inside, taking
the win with Watson second and Holmes third.
Mitchell took the holeshot in race two but hit
a burm shortly afterwards allowing Holmes to pass.
Holmes took the win six seconds ahead of Mitchell
with Watson a further 30 seconds behind. That
result left John Mitchell with the overall win,
followed by Paul Holmes in second and Mark Watson
taking third.
