Essex (Hedingham / Halstead) based Eddie Belton lifts the 2022 Winners trophy on the GH Motorcycles / GB Finch sponsored first successful youth series championship run by Sudbury Motorcycle Club.
With an exciting 5 race series of events running April to October in conjunction with a full adult program of Eastern Centre Championship Events, it is hoped the youth championship will gain momentum and attract younger riders to the challenge of Enduro. To be a part of this exciting collaboration with recognised Eastern Centre sponsors and an experienced club who run a successful youth training program for up-and-coming riders, competitors need to be a member of an ACU club and with Sudbury’s youth memberships at just £1 they get additional benefits if committed to ride the youth championship:- GH Motorcycles will supply a free team race shirt and any youth wearing a club shirt at the GH Motorcycles Fundays will benefit from tips and training on the dedicated youth track and opportunities for accompanied laps on a more testing course. A workshop training event is also planned as the season progresses.
Riders will need to obtain an ACU race licence or have a day licence for each race. Entry fee is just £20.00 each race which will be a minimum of 1 hour long and held in the afternoon -Following the adult race. Subject to certain conditions familiar with most grassroot sports parents are asked to marshal and enjoy the podium award ceremony with awards up to 3rd place at each event, with end of year trophies for top 3 riders.

The Sudbury MCC transponders will be used for lap scoring these will be loaned from the club at each race.
