Matthew Jones was on fire at CTR Events season warmer

Matthew Jones won the CTR season warm up at the very challenging and versatile Hafod Y Dafal east south Wales,

After a few days of late winter sun for track building Sunday’s race day was a very different story with a heavy wet fog that never lifted.

The CTR team had a busy day with the ever changing conditions and track alterations keeping the race flowing and looking after the land,

Carl Tiley dropped a soggy flag at 11.15am.  Rhys Davies (Beta) was fastest off the line with Matthew Jones (Mounter KTM) close behind bedding in a new set of forks. At the end of the first lap Jones led by half a minute from Henry Yardley with Veteran Grant Churchyard was 3rd. Tim Foreman was running in a new Beta and running in 4th. Ryan Nightingale got the Clubman holeshot from Evan Davies and Co, Jeff Cripps grabbed the Vet Clubman holeshot from Carl Davies and Greg Rademayer, Andrew Phillips got the Novice class holeshot from Adam Lewis and the gang.

After 2 and half hours of CTR cross country Enduro racing the chequered flag was dropped and very happily received by all with Matthew Jones taking the overall win from young Henry Yardley and Tim Forman on the new Beta , Grant Churchward won the Vet Experts and was 3rd overall with Richard Baxter second in class and Ryan Mitchel 3rd, 15 year old Charlie Chater won the Clubman class with Jammo Jones 2nd and Ryan Nightingale 3rd, Carl Davies won the Vet Clubman from Andy Card with Keith Hebron 3rd, Jeff Parfitt won the Over 50 class, The Novice class was won by Andrew Phillips 2nd was Adam Lewis with Jason Kendal 3rd.

It was a great day racing at CTR Events everyone enjoyed the course and after the presentation all made their way home
