Frearson takes charge at Dirt Track round 2

The strange British weather dealt the second round of the British Dirt Track Championship a good hand and a fantastic racing surface and track was produced for the racers to serve up some excellent racing once again at the grass circuit at Idover Lane, nr Wootton Bassett.

Due to the size of the track the Welsh Pitbikes British Dirt Track Mini Bike Championships also had a chicane to contend with, which kept the racing close, interesting and as always keenly contested.

The once again was top class when it came to entertainment. Race one went to a jubilant Wayne Johnstone, but after that it was all the impressive Adam Frearson’s, who looked pure class, although he was pushed all the way by Luke Coker who has to come from the back on each occasion due to poor starts. Newcomer Tony Tomasso from Poole notched a third place finish overall on his debut and was always on the pace, whilst Welsh chargers Mathew Cole and Billy Coles recorded their best ever finishes with 4^th and 5^th respectively and took a liking to the wet conditions, later in the day.

Johnstone after a few falls, ended up down in sixth overall, but won the final in atrocious conditions following an intense hail storm just before the race. Newcomer Ricky Pay enjoyed his day and pledged to be back and more competitive next time round after a 7^th place finish.

Welsh Pitbikes Competition winner Mark Teggins enjoyed his day and finished a commendable 7^th overall but more importantly enjoyed his Dirt Track experience and will be back for more!

The biggest plus of the day was the great atmosphere and camaraderie in the pits, with everyone going home with a smile on their face no matter how caked in dirt they were, and it was fantastic to see more newcomers to the sport.

All in all another great days racing all completed within two and half hours due to the impending weather, the slick show was enjoyed by all, as the show now moves onto round 3 at the Abbey Stadium, the home of the Swindon Robins Speedway team on the 8^th July. Spaces are limited and with many riders already expressing an interest in riding event it is suggested that those wishing to take part email into entries@allterrainevents.eu as entry forms are not yet available.
