Dirtbike-action set out a challenging route for the final round of the NEEC at Roppa Moor plantation near Helmsley, 5 laps for championship and experts, 4 for clubman and 040, while the sportsman and over 50 tackled 3 laps, although the weather in the preceding week had been unkind with heavy rain Sunday was a fine day and as promised the forest stood up well to the conditions. With the start and finish of the special test located at the start area along with refuelling, it gave the crews and spectators a chance to watch the action especially the tyres towards the end of the test, the test has been created using a 360 machine and then harrowed leaving a 7 foot wide flowing twisting trail through the trees with logs and tyres strategically placed, the test is similar in style and quality to the munjac. As the championship riders returned off their first full lap of the helmsley going it was graham Jarvis on the flight husaberg first on to the test closely followed by Gavin houson and Michael Briggs. At the end of the first test graham had pulled a 8 second lead over gav and a 34 second lead over Michael Briggs , graham continued to build his lead on each of the next 3 test, on test 5 gav pulled out all the stops and was catching graham as the riders approached the tyres with only meters to the finish a rider got stuck on the last set of tyres graham squeezed over but gav's path was blocked giving graham a clean sweep of all the tests and victory .Richard Dakin won the expert class from the ever smiling Dave nellis . Mark houson took the 040 class win from mark Ritchie; it was good to see Nigel Hutchinson making a return after a long layoff with a knee injury ,he went on to win the 050 class. Talking to riders at the end it was clear that the test was one of the best in the series and enjoyed by most of the riders, next year in April Helmsley will be rounds 2 and 3 of the BEC as well as the opening rounds of the NEEC on a much bigger course with a new start area and campsite with full access to the test for spectators and crews.
