A cold chilly morning greeted the riders at a very well prepared sandy Sherwood for the track walk and signing on before practice got under way with the MXY2 Senior group.
A steady drizzle started whilst the Seniors went out for their first race of the day with Oli Benton having a flyer of a race, battling all the way with Joshua Bentley in send and Robert Yates in third who did well to recover from an early incident. Race two and Joshua Bentley got the holeshot but Robert Yates took the win from Daniel Neale in second and Robert Ainsley in third. Oliver Benton did well to finish after having a bad off whilst up the front of the pack.

The track coped well with the drizzle but the cold was setting in and making the track slippery in parts so the decision was made to only run two blocks which the riders and followers all seemed to agree with.
The plucky Auto riders did well to cope with the conditions of the ever changing track but it was Charlie Heyman who battled the most to take a well deserved first race win ahead of Kyle ingram in send and Cameron Box in third. Race two and the holeshot prize went to Charlie Heyman who also crossed the finish first ahead of the pack with a brilliant ride by Tyler Etheridge to take send and Harley Rutler ever improving to take a deserved third place.
A good group of Juniors saw Lewis Hall dominate the group with a first race win followed to the line by Lewis Wood in second and Dalton Dring in third. Race two and the holeshot went to Lewis Wood who flew out of the gate but Lewis Hall battled away to snatch the win with Lewis Wood second and Aaron Brown improving no end to take third place.
A large group of Small Wheel riders gave the crowd some cracking racing to watch and it was a real pleasure to see Callum Green take the first race win ahead of a battling Jordan Hearn in second and Denny Rapson in third. Race two and another win and holeshot for Callum Green, Denny Rapson took send and Jordan Hearn took the third place.
The nearly full Big Wheel class saw Dexter Doulgas dominate the group with a brilliant first race win ahead of a battling Mitchell Warhurst in second and Daniel Shepherd in third. Race two and Dexter took the holeshot and crossed the line just ahead of Mitchell warhurst with a stunning ride by Kathryn Booth to take the third place podium position.
The MX2 lads chopped and changed all through both races but the eventual winner in the first race was Rob Wood with Matt Wood in second and a great performance by Ricky Lethaby to take third place. Race two and The Holeshot and race win went to Dan Thornhill with Rob Wood taking second and third place going to a deserving Scott Hambridge.
The final group of the day and a brilliant win by Josh Spinks in the first MX1 Open race with Scott Bates battling all the way to take second and Matthew Porter third. The final holeshot and Josh Spinks made sure it was his as was the race win. Matt Porter just snatched second place from Scott Bates in third. Brilliant racing guys.
