A & T hosted the 2008 Club Individual Championships under the Gin
Pit floodlights on Tuesday evening. There was a good turn-out of 21
riders for the different classes, on a firm and grippy track, watched by
a decent sized crowd.
Newcomer Josh Peacock beat Adam Turnbull in a run-off to take the U-8
title, after both had tied on 14 points. There was another run-off
required, to determine the U-10 title. This time Adam Watson beat Stefan
Whitelegg, after both had finished on 11 points, with impressive
newcomer Colin Farn taking 3rd place. Joel Partington was a clear winner
of the U-13 category, winning all his four races, with first year rider
Josh Gore taking 2nd place. Ben Dickenson took the U-16 title, with a 14
points haul, which was sufficient to put him in a run-off for 2nd place
in the Open category, where he was beaten by Darek Kurkowski. Roy Heslop
retained his Veterans title, whilst the overall winner of the Open
category was Dariusz Pilas, who raced to an impressive 16 points maximum
and recorded the fastest time of the night.
