Round 3.  Leuchars      Sunday 18th May 2008

  Leuchars Tourist Information

 

 

Leuchars Motocross track with a new layout welcomed round 3 of the Scottish Motocross Championship.
Race 1 exploded out of the start gate onto a heavily watered track 40 riders all attempting to reach the same spot on the race track first, as £50 was on offer for the hole shot, in each race .As the sun broke out so did Bobby Gold diving into the corner first to claim the prize but by the third corner he was sampling the leuchars sand. This let Craig Trew pick up the reins with Peter Mitchell hard on his tail .But by Lap two Ross Rutherford had smoothly moved into the lead and stayed there for the rest of the race .

The battle for championship points raged behind the leader with Neill Flochart taking second and Tommy Fenwick third at the flag.

This set the trend for the second race with Craig Trew making the early running but with pain from a recent broken wrist his performance was limited, not so Ross Rutherford who slipped quietly into the lead and disappeared to take win number 2 from Tony Craig who had charged hard from the gate but could not hold Rutherford. Bobby Gold took his second hole shot and stayed on the bike to claim third place

Race three was a different affair altogether as Neil Flochart decided it was time for a win. He had not bargained on Ross Rutherford looking to make it a hat trick  and the two of them put on a display of riding that was fantastic to watch as they fought out a mostly air Bourne battle .This went on for 5 laps till Rutherford using the lapped riders made his escape. It looked like the third race win was in the bag as Flockhart gave in to pressure from Craig and dropped to third.
Going into the last lap Rutherford’s bike stopped dead Tony Craig gratefully accepted the win with Flochart second and Graham Riley an excellent third.

The standard and closeness of the racing had the spectators running around trying to keep up with the action and the commentator almost going hoarse.
Roll on round three at Duns Motoparc on the 15th of June.
