Race Report - Hartlepool - Round 4

Round 4 of the North Region BMX series was hosted by North East BMX club. After an extremely windy practice session on Saturday, it was almost perfect conditions for racing on Sunday.

Stepping up for Dragon Riders in the Novice 6 and under, Hannah Mackie put in some impressive laps to finish a solid 6th overall.

With all remaining Dragons competing in the Expert categories, there were a number of stand out performances, with Osian Parr, Alex Mackie, Olly Webb and Tomos Doran all qualifying for spots in a semi final.

Tomos Doran was unlucky not to qualify for the A final after a strong effort, but went on to win the B final. Osian Parr qualified for the A final in 9 boys and showed serious determination not to give up after ending up at the back of the pack after the first straight, eventually having to settle for the 8th place finish.

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.
