State Round 4
AJS Motorcycle Club Neerabup
July 11th
Winter struck Perth in the last 3 weeks with no less than 15 nights under 5 degrees Centigrade, Unfortunately for us, the cold spell was broken by the rain, the track and event were threatened with cancellation as some parts of the circuit were deemed to have caution written all over them.
The Quads were sent out first and parts of the track were like creek crossings, all the Pro's Intermediates and Clubmans were out together, all riders from the pits and spectators lined the infamous Quarry to check out the action to see if the track would hold up and see how the quads handled the creek crossing at the bottom, The pro's seemed to take it in their stride, wheely across the water, while some of the clubmans got an absolute drowning in the muddy water.
By the time seven other classes practised, the loader did a little maintenance, it was decided to start racing.
Clubman Quads were out first, and youngster Joel Mortimer keeps showing his growing abilities on a 450cc, at just 16 years of age he is dominating both the Clubman classes and his laptimes are becoming increasingly close to the classes above his own. Joel took the hatrick of wins for the day and leads the class with a 30 point buffer over Travis Brown, who took three third places for the round. Brayden Spencer took outright 2nd , and while not long out of the juniors has developed his skills on a 450cc over the season thus far. It will be inspiring when the season moves to the final two rounds and the hard pack terrain to see who excells across all surfaces.
The Quad Championship field numbers were down, but never the less, racing was fierce. Ryan Lancaster came from the warmth of the North West to drizzling muddy conditions, his form and performance were effortless and took the hatrick of wins to extend his lead for the series.
Meanwhile 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th was some of the most exciting racing we have seen in years, videoing these guys you could almost keep them all in frame all over the track, Race 1 saw Chad McKay out chasing down Lancaster, and Luke Gaisford battling it out with Glen Ashworth and Josh Higson, Gaisford passed them both, getting into 3rd place, when entering the quarry he got sideways off the lip of the infamous jump, and crashed down the face of the quarry, Ashworth took 3rd, Higson 4th and Gaisford settled for 5th.
Race 2 Lancaster again jumped to the lead to let the others race it out between themselves, McKay this time was back in 5th and unable to get amongst it, while Gaisford passed Higson then Ashworth, Higson passed Ashworth and between the four riders going into round 3 they shared 38 points a piece.
Race 3 Saw Glen Ashworth take the lead in front of Lancaster, but Lancaster soon put paid to that and took the lead back, Mckay and Gaisford overtook Ashworth then battled out the 6 lap journey with barely a bike length between them, Gaisford commented how hard he pushed himself and how many times he almost came to grief, only to look up and see McKay in the same predicament up on one wheel, or hanging over the bars.
Round 4 1st Ryan Lancaster 2nd 75pts Chad McKay 3rd 60pts Luke Gaisford 58pts
Series Leaders
1st Ryan Lancaster 294pts 2nd Luke Gaisford 247pts 3rd Glen Ashworth 196pts
The days racing came to a close, the weather had held out, the track didnt get anywhere near as bad as usual, the bar was full of people, the raffles were drawn, presentations done and then…. The storm hit.
