RD2 Race Report, Pics & Results.

Rd 2 14.10.12 376Well Hetton has finally softened up after a dry & dumpy Autumn Series. There was heavy rain on Saturday afternoon and a shower just before the main race which made the course very slippy in places. There was many a rider ‘over the bars’ on the off chamber corners and was great fun. There was three races on the day starting the U12’s on a shortened course with a up followed by a nice down, B Dowson (Hetton Hawks) taking the win after a good battle with J Wilson (Stockton Wheelers) and A Brown (Hetton Hawks) taking a strong third (1st U10). Next up was the U14/16’s on the full course cutting a track through for the adults with J Mann (Derwentside CC) leding from the start to take the win, J Howard (Cleveland Wheelers) 2nd and N Hamilton (Hetton Hawks) 3rd. Then the heavens opened just before the main race started but stopped dry during the main race. Full results are in the RESULTS SECTION.
