Race Report - Mid Lancs - Round 3

Mid Lancs BMX club hosted the 3rd round of the North Region BMX series, and it was a hot one. A number of Dragons made a weekend of it and rode Saturday practice then camped at the venue to make the most of the weather.

Racing got under way on Sunday. Future BMX super stars cut their teeth in the novice categories.

#710 Hannah Mackie (novice 6) won her final in style.
#572 Thomas Roberts (novice 8) had to battle hard all the way in each race to take the win.
#16 Harri Owen (novice 9) crashed twice but picked himself up and pushed on to get a pair of solid 4th places.

Four riders from the Dragons contested the expert girl categories.

#861 Elin Parr, # 736 Grace Proctor, #735 Paige Proctor and #659 Casey Webb all made the A final in their respective categories and came away with some solid finishes.

Eight riders competed in the expert male categories.

Super tough racing all day and 3 Dragons made it out of the motos and into the semi finals. Semi finals time and even with a max charge effort it was a close one, and good experience, but we didn’t get anyone progressing to an A final. A stand out performance came from #175 Alex Mackie (Expert Male 10) making, and challenging for a qualification spot in his first Semi final.

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.
