The Three Muskeskiers

9th June – Suffolk Club National

Brilliant viewing, ample parking, 180 metres of good quality Dendix and a really interesting
terrain all go towards making Ipswich the best event of the Club National calendar. Only three Telford racers made the trip down the A14 however but all came away with great results.

In a really competitive children 1 category, Ashley claimed a joint 2nd and managed to post a 1st ever top 30 overall placing despite being hampered on run 3 by an out of control right hand pole which prevented any real acceleration out of the gate. In the minis, Telford racers dominated the prizes with Nathan producing three faultless runs and one breath taking stamping of the second gate down for a superb 3rd place and Jordan scored the three fastest times of the day in category the claim a fine 1st place.


9th June - Stoke Fun Race #3

Another great turnout from Telford competed in the third and penultimate round of the popular summer race series. On the slope Emma Taylor raced to second place in the U8 girls, Claire Ainsworth and Emily Humfress both went one better and made it a hat trick of series wins in the girls U10 & U12 categories. Charlotte Shrimpton claimed 3rd in the U14s and Kirsty Thomas claimed another win in the unregistered under 16 category. Girl of the day however was Charlotte Gould who blitzed the field to claim victory in category and the overall female crown.

In the boys, William Lucas claimed 2nd in the U8’s with Joshua Ainsworth claiming 5th. In the U14 category Joe Humfress impressed with a great 2nd place, Marco Furio claimed 5th and Adam Buffrey placed 10th. The U12’s saw William Haycox shade brother Adam, claiming 8th & 9th places respectively and Charlie Haycox claimed an excellent 4th place in the U10’s. Man of the day however went to Daniel Taylor who blasted to his first ever race win and became the third Telford racer to win the U10’s in this series. Well done Dan.
