Last weekend MT3 Events held the MCF MiniBike nationals at the recently revamped Arncott Moto Parc ,where 65 of the uk`s premier mini bike riders went bar to bar in 8 races with 7 to count over 2 days .
The purpose built minibike track at Arncott Moto Parc, perfectly prepared by Jonathan Groves and his team made the MCF Minibike Nationals a weekend to remember! Arncott Moto Parc enjoyed near perfect weather conditions, and the racing was action packed, from big wipe outs on little bikes and ding dong battles between every rider in every group. All the riders pushed their bikes to the limits and battled for hounors in each class. The Open Midsize Class the most popular class were first out 10am Saturday and as the class being so popular timed qualification was needed to select the fastest 15 riders for Group A. Luke Coker set the fastest time in qualification with just under a second advantage from Callam wood. These guys swapped places all weekend with Luke coming home in the end with a three point advantage from the ever charging Callum Wood.
In Open Midsize Group B Jamie Courtney took 5 of the possible 8 wins , with Ricky Atkinson Alfie Webb and Ben Coffin each sharing a moto win .The Pro 50cc class saw Ashley Rymer Lead the way with a dominant display of speed and style on the 10 inched wheel machines ,with Ashley Hall capitalising and taking a win as Ashleys bike lost power in moto 4 ,Rymerand his team of mechanics had to work over night to rebuild the engine ,which helped him get back on track to win every race on Sunday .Kevin Doolan who had to split his time with speed way commitments and mini bike races which ment he missed 2 races on the Saturday ,but won every other race from an ever improving Chris Whybrow..
Some of the closet and fastest action battles came from the Superstock class , with Blaine Blackwell having to battle his way up front to take 4 race wins on Saturday with Rhys Davies and Ashley Rymer. Rymer was swapping bikes and doing back to back races but was able to keep the heat on Blackwell and Davies for the whole race. It was Rhys Davies though who seemed to be a bit of a crowd favourite being first to clear the big step up triple jump on the circuit. Sunday it looked like Rhys Davies after an early night and looking fresh was hoping to change things around and took the first win from Blackwell and Rymer. Davies then suffered loose handle bars in moto 6 and a puncture in moto 7 whilst leading the chasing pack of Blackwell, Rymer and Gary Everest.
Youth 6-9 saw a very stylish Miles Boumount Score Maximum points and recorded lap times that would worry some of the adult competitors. Joe Hudson and Thomas Pope had a long hard battle in all 8 races over the weekend in the Youth 10-12 class with both riders putting on a fantastic display of skills on some of the more technical sections of the circuit. and each finishing on joint points ,but it was Joe Hudson who took the decider final race for the overall. Jason Breckon was the only other rider to score maximum points over the weekend with a stylish display of skills, Rhys Phillip did provide Breckon with a bit of a challenge in first 3 races until bike problems stopped play .
