Michael Addison the current series leader took second after a hard fought day with Calvin, with leads changing in all races multiple times to keep the crowd enthralled at every corner. Michael Addison mentioned on the podium that this was the first time Louis had beaten him outright for the win for a round, and applauded the youngster on how far he had come.

Bunbury Motorcycle Club
Shrubland Park July 17th 2011
Bunbury Motorcycle Club held the largest State Round in 2010 and is ready to back up last years event with an even bigger spectacle this Sunday July 17th. The South West town now on the end of the new freeway, had a massive crowd last year, circling the entire track with every vantage point filled with cars and spectators. Shrubland Park has attracted some new large corporate sponsors and will be eager to showcase and show off their new facilities and advertise their prospective events for the upcoming summer season.
At the half way point of the series, the Pro Lites class is being lead by David Birch, he has quite a commanding lead over Craig Bolton, who displaced Sean Robertson to third at the AJS round just two weeks ago. Ashley Whisler had a good round at the sand track and elevated himself to fourth with Robbie Clark rounding out the top five. The Bunbury Round has again attracted Louis Calvin and English rider Jamie Law to compete between their Australian MX Nationals campaign.
Interestingly it will be Law and Calvin again in the Pro Open Class that will bring everyone to the fence, the duo will take on WA’s Michael Addison who is currently leading this years series. A few controversial moments in previous race meets, will have everyone out in force for this battle. Paul Humberston is holding second place for the series and will have to be on his game to hold off third placed and Bunbury’s own Anthony Hicks. The youngster is doing the job this year without much fan fair and his consistence is paying dividends.
Quad Championship is lead by Luke Gaisford, he goes into round four ahead of Jordan Dummett and Josh McKay. A bit of bad luck saw Joel Mortimers day end early at AJS and finally separate his points tie with Mckay. Ryan Lancaster also suffered problems at Wanneroo and cost him the win at his new home track. Adam Larson took 2nd at last round, but the young Victorian hasn’t entered Bunbury.
Clubman Quads has shown six different winners across the 9 races so far, it is good to see a grid of riders where anyone can come out with the win. Leading the series is Shaun Woodhead in front of Kalgoorlie trio Dave Harris, Mathew Robbins and Aaron Tate.
Clubman Lites rider Andy Brack is leading the way, he has taken 2 wins this season in front of Daniel Guy who missed round 1, but never the less has 5 wins to his credit. Robert Malone holds 3rd place.
Clubman Open is being dominated by Stuart Kreush with 5 wins from 6 starts, John Broadhurst is in second place while Nicholas Hereman rounds out the top three.
Veterans shows Barend Swart at the top of the leader board, Tony Wood in second and Colin Greeby in third. Pro / Intermediate Veterans is lead by Bunbury local Mark Jones, he is closely followed by Trevor Unstead and Kamahl Godfrey.
Intermediate Open’s Daniel Strickland holds a massive lead of 47 points over his nearest rival Damon Gibbons, with Hayden Vermeer’s win at AJS elevatinghim into third place for the series. Intermediate Lites takes a break this round, but 2 riders will try their hand at Pro Lites instead of taking the weekend off.

Noble Falls - Round 5
28th August 2011
The Quad Championship Class field had some brave young riders coming back from injury, Hyden Ironman 300 youngest ever winner Josh Mckay was on a high after his massive weekend only to have a nasty crash in practice, he still pulled on his helmet and fronted up for the first moto. Jordan Dummett had also suffered injury in the South West Series in which he was leading and was on the line to defend his second placing on the ladder.
Race 1 it was Aus #1 Ryan Lancaster who got out to the early lead with Luke Gaisford in second, lapping around the same speed as the pro lites, the quads put on some great speedway style cornering to the delight of the quad followers, Josh Mckay and Joel Mortimer fought it out for 3rd and 4th.
Race 2 was a huge battle, Luke Gaisford out in front from the second corner with Ryan Lancaster on the back wheels of his competitor for 7 laps, Gaisford holding the lead, and fighting off the attempted passes of Lancaster, the two riders getting out to a 35 second lead in front of 3rd placed Jordan Dummett with Joel Mortimer just pipped over the line for 4th.
Race 3 saw Gaisford out to a great start, with Dummett and Lancaster in behind, Gaisford hit corner 1 5th gear pinned going into lap 2, hit a rut and was high sided and slammed into the track, Lancaster made the pass and put a huge lead on his competitors, Dummett, Mckay and Mortimer fought it out in a 3 way battle across the 7 laps finishing within a few seconds of each other, Gaisford circulated and finished the race for lucrative points.
The Clubman class has been a major draw card all year, with a group of 7 Riders taking race wins, looking over the results, it would have to be one of the hottest contested classes of any within the WAMX series this year, also the fullest class of riders.
Matthew Robins came out on top, the Kalgoorlie boy certainly developed over the series to one of the favorites for a win, also contesting the Southern Cross Open took it to two of the Pro's and held his own all day, it will be highlite to watch Matt next year in the Championship Class.
Sean Woodhead one of the states top Juniors in 2010, stepped up into Seniors this year and has hovered at the top of the leader board all season, a little cautious than most, his consistency and skill yielded him a 2nd overall. Aaron Tate started the series winning the first round, but mixed results mid season saw him around the 3rd 4th and having to fight it out with Anthony Pearce from round 4 and 5 to clinch 3rd place by a count back, head to head 8/7 , Pearce developed across the series getting stronger each round as his confidence grew and will be another to watch in 2012.
Dave Harris, Luke Ovens and Chris Brown have gotten better and better as the season unfolded, put these guys on any OPEN grid and they will be up the front !
Round 6 is just 3 weeks away at Hendley Park in Byford, on September the 18th, don’t miss the finale to the Championships as we will celebrate the winners and podium placegetters from all classes of round 6 and spray some champagne for the five State Championship Classes including the Quad Championship and Women’s Quads
