21st April - Stoke Race Series – Race 1
The first dry racing weekend of the season saw William Lucas and Emma Taylor scorch to victories in the U8 categories. Harry Dovey and Joshua Ainsworth also impressed with excellent 3rd & 5th places respectively. In the U10’s Claire Ainsworth & Jordan Fellows raced to wins with Daniel Taylor claiming a fine 3rd and Charlie Haycox claiming 5th. In the U12’s Oliver Dovey scored a superb 3rd place in the boys and Emily Humfress matched the feat in the girls with Adam Haycox shading brother William for an impressive 5th in a fiercely fought category. Honours for the U14 were claimed by Ben Cooper and Charlotte Shrimpton, with Joe Humfress taking an excellent 3rd and George Gould blasting her way into a fine 4th. However the prize for racer of the day has to go to Charlotte Gould who beat off stiff competition to not only take 1st place in the U16 girls but also claim the fastest time of the day for the girls. Well done indeed.
