Derby Phoenix Cadwell Park

Monday October 13, 2014 at 11:24am

Adam Reeve’s overnight drive from Croft to Cadwell Park paid off for the Yorkshire after his results on the Sunday gave him the Derby Phoenix Pre-Injection 600 ACU sponsored Clubman’s championship.

Reeve had been racing in the Hottrax meeting in North Yorkshire, winning that club’s Supersport Evo championship

The 32-year-old from Rotherham then took second place, both worth double points, on the Fifth Avenue Limousines Yamaha in his two races in Lincolnshire, to take his total for the season to 377 and win the title.

Things did not go well for Reeve’s closest rival, Gary Cooper (Yamaha).

He only added 36 points, for two seventh places, in the first two rain-hit races, but he scored a fifth and a sixth to make sure of runner-up spot.

Lee Wilson (MSG Racing Suzuki 1000) added another two club championships to his impressive career tally with victory in both the 751-1300cc Four Stroke and 700-1300 Allcomers classes.

The 31-year-old Yorkshire man wrapped up the Allcomers crown by winning Saturday’s wet race.

Job done he did not bother to go out in Sunday’s races, leaving Jamie Harrison (Honda 1000) and Stuart Martin (Kawasaki 1000) to take wins.

Martin went out of the first two races, when leading them. The first with  a misted visor and the other when the front end tucked under.

Martin dominated the 751-1300cc Four-strokes class over the weekend, taking impressive victories in all four races.

He beat Wilson by over 13 seconds in the first and by more than 21 seconds in the next.

Martin headed home Jamie Harrison in the two Sunday races, winning both by over 22 seconds.

Wilson took the crown, though, with 405 points, 65 ahead of Martin.

Dave Weston (Yamaha 600) was only 15 points ahead of his closest rival, Andy Taylor (Suzuki 600), in the 175-675cc Allcomers  championship coming into this meeting.

With Taylor absent, though, the pressure was off and Weston scored in all three races to end the season on 219 points, 93 ahead of Taylor and 102 in front of Phil Smith and Bobby Campbell, who tied for third spot.

Just five points separated the top two in the Formula 600 class at the start of play.

Ross Walker (Yamaha) kept his nerve and ended the weekend on 280, 30 points ahead of rival, Sunni Wilson (Yamaha)

Things started badly for Wilson, who failed to finish in race one, but he kept his hopes alive by beating Walker in the next two.

Walker made sure of the title by heading home Wilson in the final outing.

Brendan Mallinder was third in the final standings, 26 behind Wilson.

Sunni Wilson had the consolation of winning the Superstock 600 championship He ended the season on a whopping 398, with Stephen Tweddle second on 249

Four more wins gave Lee Crawford and Stuart Ramsey (Yamaha 600) a comfortable victory in the club sidecar championship.

Crawford, the 23-year-old from Durham, has 396 points,176 ahead of Simon and Adam Christie (Honda 600).
