Race report from hottrax

Ducati Desmo Due
Race 1
2012 is turning into a vintage year for Ducati 620 man Andy Challis, he controlled the race from the front and in overcast conditions only did what he had to do to keep The Chaser Dallas Hornblow a respectable three and a half seconds away from the front, this lead had been 10 seconds earlier on. Matthew Larrett had been a handy third before ducking out after three laps allowing Nottingham man Andy Pike to step up a place, Phil Wilcock took fourth by a mere six hundredths from Paul Payne with the ever cheerful Kevin Palmer. As well as having the longest name on the grid Richard Spencer-Fleet was the first Class B device home in seventh less than a quarter of a second from title chasing Chris Clarke., two more Class A's resided in the top ten; James Gerrard and Tom Roberts. With grids of over 30 and racing so close, the Desmond Deckers are the place to be.

Race 2
With Andy Challis missing from the action, this gave someone else a chance to shine, Hornblow led every lap of the ten holding a safety margin of a couple of seconds over the riders trying to relegate him. Larrett was initially the person sent off to intercept before Pike took over the task dumping Larrett down to an eventual third spot. Top Class B man Clark finished a refreshing fourth on the road after a mercurial ride from sixteenth on the opening lap, other people moving up in the world were fifth place Payne, James Gerrard and Scott Wilson. Phil Wilcock was eighth ahead of David Jenkins and Palmer who was having a good weekend, less than a second covered Kevin and the next two home,

Race 3
It looked as if the status quo was about to reassert itself as Challis was back in town at the front for 50% of the race distance before Hornblow was back in town for the other 50% that mattered, Challis never gave up and was smelling Dallas' exhaust fumes all the way to the flag finishing only a quarter of a second adrift from the two times winner. Private Pike held third spot throughout as did Larrett in fourth, Wilcock was solid in fifth with top Class B rider Spencer-Fleet only a half second away with Payne and Palmer knocking on the door.
