The big question leading up to the third round of the ACU Luscombe Mitsubishi Leeds British Youth Championship at Low North Park on Sunday is will JST Gas Gas teamster Dan Peace crack under pressure at his home venue? His mother Jayne has chased her boy round the wooded acres of the Scarborough Motor Club’s splendid trials venue for over ten years.
Dan must know every rock, tree root and stream in the former army camp. On the face of current form the six footer from Kirkbymoorside is rock solid on maximum points, plus his Euro youth victory that emphasised his current standing. Porlock’s Tom Hooper will be on Dan’s case as will Shropshire’s Tom Minta and local ace Michael Todd. Isle of Man entry Juan Lace is the unknown quantity as is Richmond’s Tom Alderson who shares fourth place in the standings with Todd. Ten start in Class A and further twenty one contest Class B.
That class is a totally different kettle of fish to Class A! Truro’s brilliant Toby Martyn shares the leader board with Sam Yeomans on thirty five points then Sam Johnson and Jack Peace or hovering on thirty points with Tom Culliford showing a twenty two. The outsiders on form are Jacob Snowden, Oliver Rouse, Joe Dawson, Zac Collinson and Joe Faunthorpe who are all northern class winners this year. The class runs with the Ladies and Girls on Sunday.
Starting times for each class is being decided this week.
