Bus loads of Dragons made the trip making the most of warm and sunny Spring conditions ideal for some bar to bar BMX race action at Knowsley on the Sunday 24th of March. One notable absence was the Ward family after an injury to Mr Ward racing on Saturday put him out of action and facing 6 months of the bike.
In the novice categories it was almost total Dragon domination with Hari Owen, Thomas Roberts and Hannah Mackie all at the top of their game and taking Moto wins and podium places.
Expert male categories are hard as nails with 28 riders contesting 9 year old boys and a similar number facing Dragons racing 10 boys and 11 boys. Tomos Doran (Expert Male 11), Olly Webb (Expert Male 10), Alex Mackie (Expert Male 10), Martyn Parr (Masters), Andrew Mackie (Masters) and Osian Owen (Masters) are stars of the future and gained valuable experience battling riders with World ranking plates and racing some of the fastest boys in the Country.
Osian Parr progressed from the motos in 9 boys with two wins and a second place. A Second place in the semi saw him with a good lane pick in the A final and he ripped it up one last time to come away with the 7th place.
Expert Female categories are equally tough with Elin Parr (Expert Female 12), and Paige Proctor (Expert Female 11) both making the A final in Female 11-12. Casey Webb (Expert Female 13) and Grace Proctor (Expert Female 9) both came away with 6th place finishes.
