1st May Weekend Results

Well the seasons is well under way and most the guys are all up and running. Several of the team raced this weekend at a number of local events with some excellent results.
Andy Green is flying and had entered the Dianne Cook Memorial 10 which moved from its usual course at Wolvey to the faster K10/10F at Princethorpe. A field of a high standard entered the event and with the weather conditions being far from ideal ,with very high winds the result was far from a given conclusion amongst the top seeds. Andy eventually finished 4th with 21.35 with Mike Wheeler finishing with a time of 23.38 in his first event of 2011. The event win was taken by John Simpkins / Drag 2 Zero in 21.00, second was Scott Povey / i ride in 21.03 and third was Matt Purshouse/ Warwick CC in 21.26.

The Hinckley 2- up 25 was the contested by a number of the local clubs with Lutterwoth RT having two of the seeded teams contesting the overall result. The event was held on the K41/25 which is a two lap course on the sporting Wolvey / A5 circuit near Hinckley. The weather was much as the day before with a strong wind on the outward leg from Wolvey towards Lutterworth. The event win was taken by Lutterworth's Andy Green & Dael Sidwell who destroyed the opposition by a minute over the sporting two lap's in a time of 53.51. Second place was secured by the second Lutterworth pairing of Matt Sinclair & Craig Twigg in 54.51. In third position were pre race favourites and the top seeded pairing of Matt Purshouse and Richard Shimmell in 55.05.
