 THE
BOWSHOT ALL SAUCE - 6TH FEB 05 The excellent new venue at
Bowshot Farm near Lyme Regis, certainly proved to be a most interesting
and enjoyable circuit Heavy rain all day Saturday produced a bit of a
greasy pig . After a bit of careful planning early on Sunday morning, the
Gravity team re-routed and created a nice flowing track for the youth
quads. Early on the race Ben James got his nose in front of Aimee Day and
started to make good ground . Unfortunately for Ben , his quad started to
give him a bit of trouble. Aimee seized the opportunity to take her to the
finish line. Bethany Miller raced hard to secure second with Ben coming in
a close third. The younger youths battled away providing some very
entertaining racing with Yorath Williams winning the 11-13 age group and
Callem Goodfellow winning the 8-10 age group. Hats off to the young-uns,
19 out of 20 completed the course. The track was then re-routed again to
give the adult quads and sidecars something to get their teeth into. The
sauce by this time was starting to get glutinous, but was soon spread
about in every direction, with the morning sunshine helping to disperse
the moistness. Expert quad rider Porky Davis took hold of the reins and
led a smooth enjoyable ride from start to finish. The battle for second
was between Jon Morgan, Sparky Williams, Andy Downes and Rob Orchard. Due
to mechanical failure we think, Jon and Rob had to retire earlier than
they would have liked. "Sparky arse over the back Williams" came
to a rather abrupt end when his back axel snapped and over took him ! in
one of the ditches. Andy Downes pulled off second place. Clubman quads
were having a right old sort out (some of them must owe me a few quid for
all the top soil they keep taking home with them.) Richard Burch
"Cyclops" pinned his swede into a tree , out came the ketchup
all over the auction. Rich not deterred by this hunted on to reel in a
tidy 14 laps. Young Jamie Dean had a good solid race along with Nigel
Hughes . Up at the front a bit of a shin-dig was developing between Paul
Evans, Craig Horton , Tim James and young gun Craig Mcloughin. By lap
three old timer Horton was sniffing new boy Evans's smoke. Within a few
corners , bogs and banks Horton was there While this was going on
Mcloughin was crawling his way up the pile, By lap six he was on the top
and there he stayed to the end, cool as a cumber. At Topper Corner on
separate laps both Tim James and Horton rolled their quads and landed on
their hats. Tim shaken but not stirred, Craig puzzled bars and stem doing
a 45 degree'er, both back on the gas to the end . Fair do's to the sidecar
brigade ,unfortunately some of the wooded section proved a tad to tricky
and saucy .The Gravity boys acted quickly and soon had the show on the
road ,separate route for the karts. The Rutherford and Geraghty crew
stomped on in front at good rate of knots, until a tree attacked them.
This left the Williams bros in a prime position, a good quality ride from
a couple of level headers. Late starters Paul Rutherford and Vickie Harris
got the bit between their teeth putting in some greedy speedy laps to
bring their total up to 15. Anne and John Giles started late but showed
great form and skill to notch up 10 laps even with an early retirement.
Jack Twentyman led the experts of the line at a good old gallop, but after
8 laps the bike had had enough. Darren Cains saw the door was open and
bolted of to the end .Phil Studley ,charging on had to keep his wits about
him as he left his front brake lever in some bush back down the track.
Geof Bridgden come home with an uninterrupted third .The clubman solos saw
Nigel Wickham come home first with a tasty 17 laps to his credit. Good to
see some of the more mature gents ( Roy Chamberlin and Richard Goodfellow)
getting to grips with the saucy conditions< showing the boys how to do
it. Thanks to the whole Gravity squad especially the boys in the wood who
kept things moving at all times. Photos available from Actionsport
. Next round here again on March 13th. Ask
other riders to see how good it was. Get your entries in soon.
