AMCA/CDB British Classic MX Championship
The Mick Brooker Memorial Scramble hosted by Acorns MCC at Butterton near Stoke-on-trent included Round 2 of the AMCA/CDB British Classic MX Championship.
There were four Championship races, two mixed for Pre60, Pre65 and Pre68 and two for Pre74. In the first mixed class Pre68 rider Mitch Harris made the hole shot chased by Chris Collins and Nick Archer. Harris rode superbly to a good rhythm, not making any mistakes for a clear win. Collins was a good second in the race and in Pre68. Lewis Bell pushed through to third and was top Pre65, ahead of Best. Peter Hollinshead took his 650cc BSA twin to eighth in the race and the first Pre60. In the second race Ricky Pedder made the start from Harris, Bell and Best. Pedder held the lead throughout to be top Pre65 with Best getting closer and closer in second as top Pre68. Hollinshead got past Joe Chell early on to finish with a double Pre60 win.
In the first Pre74 race local rider Chris Chell made the hole shot with Wayne Partington, Kris Winder and Keith Rice in pursuit. Kris Winder took the lead from Chell but Keith Rice stopped on the second lap with a broken frame downtube on his CZ. First-round winner Kristian Marshall worked from mid-pack and got past Chell and then Winder over the main jump. He pulled away for a clear win from Winder and Chell.
In the second, Greg Speed led Winder into the first turn but at the end of the first lap at the bottom of the hill Winder went down on the slippery grass. On the next lap Speed went down on the back of the circuit leaving Chell in front of Marshall, who eased through to make it three out of three championship wins. Chell was second from Partington and Rice. Winder worked his way back through to sixth.
