WOR EVENTS HARE SCRAMBLE - OPEN 2.5HR MEETING TYN TWYLL – BLP AUGUST
2017 “Freemans fast blast”
Husqvarna 350 Mounted Raife Mcdonald was in superb form as he took a well-deserved win in the Clubman class and a superb 9th overall. Raife finished 28 seconds ahead of Runner Up, Richard Wozencraft (KTM) and 3 minutes, 11 seconds ahead of 3rd placed Elgan Williams(GasGas), all three on 11 laps. Archie Collier at 15 years of age is getting better by the ride and with his Sportsman class win and a simply fantastic 13th Overall this young 125 Husky rider is one to keep an eye on indeed. Really enjoying the tougher conditions that this venue offers it was a 4 minute advantage that Collier took over eventual Runner Up, Steve Farthing. Farthing in turn passing 3rd placed Andy Rich after chasing him down later in the race. All 3 did 10 laps each. Ian Heyworth rode splendid in the Over 50’s to secure the win from Runner
Up, Gareth “Rhug” Jones by just 32 seconds after an epic 2.5hrs racing but
even closer was Lee Sephton missing out to Jones by just 3 seconds. Very close
indeed. All 3 on 9 laps each. As always WOR would like to thank the staff, caterers, medics, sponsors but most importantly the riders for supporting this event and all the others and making it possible to keep putting these events on. WOR have a busy August still to play for and a very busy September too before all attentions turn October onwards to the winter months and the Extreme specials, TOLB, Sucker Punch, Team Extreme, and the new Sandblaster Beach race, more details can be found at www.worevents.com “ |
Brad
Freeman did a demolition job on all of the riders at WOR Events open Hare
Scramble meeting last Sunday at the Clubs “proper” welsh enduro venue, Tyn
Twyll near Wrexham, North Wales.Riding a brand-new Beta 2t and looking simply
World class, the likeable 21 year old from Rugeley was in unstoppable form as
he lapped every single rider on the course, some of them many times as the
World Enduro starlet seemed to effortlessly glide over this notoriously tough
venue, so tough that it’s the home of the WOR Tough 100, recently just won
by David Knight. Freeman looked very impressive indeed as he completed 14
laps, taking the lead of the race from the second lap from Husqvarna mounted,
Owain Humphreys. Humphreys is no slouch and most days can be credited with the
win or near to it, Owain still comfortably took the runner up spot on this
occasion but was passed by the leader for a clear lap on the last lap of the
2.5hr race. 52 year old Enduro legend, Ady Smith is simply a one off, this guy
is a multy time British Enduro champion and has achieved so much on a
motorcycle throughout his illustrious career that you would think he would be
taking it easy nowadays, Not the case at all though even on his day off he was
out there racing as he kept strong, smooth and always fast to keep the two top
young guns in his sights and secure a podium finish in third place on his KTM.
Gas
Gas Boss John Shirt Jnr is another big and fast name from the past and his
recent resurgence in racing has come about because of the superb new Gas Gas
300 that he is importing. Its brought Jnr out of retirement and got him
entering all sorts of events recently from the WOR Time card Enduro, the last
BEC and now a week later the WOR open Scramble. 3 weeks running, not bad for
an old one as he says. Shirty won the over 40’s finished 8th overall and
held off the challenges from David Williams and Nigel Lynn in 2nd and 3rd
place respectively in class.
