Round two of the A.C.U. Women and Girls Trials Championship takes place in a double header along with the C and D boys Championship. Then the club will be hosting the second round of the A and B Class on the Sunday. This long weekend of trials will be taking place at Low North Park courtesy of the Scarborough & District Motor Club.
Only twenty two contestants are listed, well down for a region well known for the female content of Yorkshire trials. Missing are Caz Allford, Hannah Styles, now into enduro’s, and ‘Manx Maid’ Saskia Baxter who is probably chasing villains on the Isle of Man and who won the Hook Woods opener.
Emma Bristow will aim to win the adults class from Becky Cook while football starlet Danielle Whitham will be after beating Donna Fox. Local girl Nikita Smith will test Chloe Richardson in Class A. Hannah Richardson has ridden Richmond ‘winter toughies’ with great results and the Skeeby girl aims to win again but Bristol’s Victoria Payne may have other plans. Gabby Whitham should win Class C. Mansfield Maun results guru Michelle Naufahu should be on course to win the Newcomers but Vicky Lamb and Jenny Crabtree could rock the boat. Dave Chilton has planted a dozen section flags and three laps will suffice.
On Saturday and Sunday the Club stage the third round in the series following on from the two West Country openers in April. Entries are up for the Luscombe Suzuki Leeds sponsored series with thirty six starters listed.
Pat Galway and his vastly experienced team of youth trials organisers have twelve sections and three laps planned for the youngsters. All the big names are competing plus some really strong challengers.
On top form at present Bradford’s Keiran Child could test Toby Martyn and double winner Jack Peace. Joe Faunthorpe is on a growing sprint and has just be under par, for Joe. Zac Collinson lives in Scarborough and likely to upset the results. Newton Abbott rider Billy Green should add another Medium Wheel result on Sunday but Oliver Smith and Leicester’s Daniel Slack will be somewhere near. Bradford lad Charlie Smith has been posting good results. Edward Earle and James Marshland head Class D medium and small wheels.
Sunday brings round two in Class A and B age groups. On current form Jack Price starts favourite for Class A but Iwan Roberts and British Open Championship youth winner Luke Walker will test all of them. Add in Jack Stones, Rob Waite, Brad and Dec Bullock, Olly Kendra and it could be a hot day. Class B reads the same. Dan Peace will have to perform on Sunday. Nikita Smith, Sam Johnson, Tom Minta, Dominic Feaks and Matty Whelan have all posted class victories in recent weeks.
Starting times on both days is 10.00 am.
Low North Park features hard standing car parks, café facilities and real working toilet block, but no fresh water supplies.
