Three Slopes, One Weekend, Lots of Driving

19th May – Stoke Race Series – Race 2
Race 2 of the Stoke fun series saw another hefty contingent from Telford in attendance. Spirits were almost immediately dashed however as the morning warm up session witnessed Charlotte Shrimpton’s horror crash that required a visit to the hospital and what looks likely to be a lot more to the dentist. As for those who raced we saw category wins for Emma Taylor, Claire Ainsworth, Charlotte Gould, Kirsty Thomas, Emily Humfress, Kirran Singh Khalsa, Joe Humfress and William Lucas. Oliver Dovey and Daniel Taylor added to this rather impressive haul by claiming 3rd places in their respective categories

19th May – Norwich Club National
With the Telford masses descending on Stoke Jordan, Nathan and Ashley cut somewhat lonely figures at what is without doubt the finest dry slope facility in the country. Nathan again delivered, claiming another impressive top 5 finish in the minis, Jordan recovered from a nightmare morning to steal 2nd place in the same category and Ashley added to that with 3 super runs to claim 3rd in chi 1 category

20th May – Norwich Grand Prix
With GP entry criteria excluding minis Ashley found himself in a one man team and despite the lack of Telford numbers we still ended up with a podium as Ash raced to 3rd in Chi 1

20th May - WMSA Schools Race 2007
And whilst the boy Breese was racing onto the Norfolk podium the rest of the Telford racers all headed to Madeley for our second and final home event of the summer. In the Girls categories the racers from Telford completely swept the board with Emma Taylor, Claire Ainsworth, Emily Humfress, Claire Brown, Charlotte 'Bird' Gould and Abby Clifford claiming wins. Podium positions were also claimed by Helen Fisher, Becky Brown, Kirsty Thomas, Charlotte Shrimpton, George Gould, Ellen Brown & Elisabeth Thomas. In addition, Chloe Ruston and Nadia Hicken both claimed 4th in category. In the boys, William Lucas, Jordan Fellows, Oliver Dovey, Ben Cooper and Jack Cottam claimed wins in all categories barring the u16 crown. Places were also captured by Harry Dovey, Kirran Singh Khalsa, Joseph Ruston, and Joe Humfress. Well done everyone.
