July 09: Beastway Series 2009 - Race Night 3!

A heavy rain shower hit the race prior to the start and this turned the first lap into a mud fest, but as the race progressed the course settled down and we saw close, fast racing. Dan Oakley (Chelmer) had led on lap one but like a number of others he succumbed to the mud early on.

This week saw a Master and a Vet taking first and second place overall but the winner of the Expert Men was Paul Wilkinson. William Jones had a storming ride to win the Masters race and just behind him was Paul Hudson, winner of the Veteran category.

Graham Pentney took the singlespeed win whilst it was another win for Michael Butler in the Juniors. Peter Barton won the Grand vet race and Serge Hunt took the win in Sport.

Nicky Wughes won in Grand Vet Women from Abi Armstrong and the tightly contested Youth races finished with race A being won by Edward Moesli and race B by Sam Titmarsh.
