NSW Sprint and XCountry Championship
May 24th Round 5 and May 25th Round 6
Hi All,
The weekend had us travelling south of the state to Tarcutta for a weekend of the State Sprint and Cross country championships. Wagga MCC ran a great event at a picturesque location. The weather was fine and the tracks were challenging making for a great weekends racing.
The boys Kawasaki KX85’s again proved to be powerful and reliable in some rough conditions. Very rocky terrain and deep powdery dust challenge everyone for the weekend. Both boys showed great speed and skill for the weekend and ended both days with great results.
Saturday was a sprint format with a great 9 minute loop. Each rider doing 7 sprints of the track with the times culminating for the final result. Josh and Mitch both had great runs all day with Josh taking 1st and Mitch taking 2nd.
Sunday was a 1.5 hour XCountry around a hilly and rough 8km loop. A flag start had Mitch in 2nd and Josh in 5th as they headed around the first corner. Some great riding from both boys and some great competition from the other riders had the lead change several times however Josh pushed hard to take a convincing win with Mitch holding onto 3rd in a great race.
A big thanks goes to all the boys supporters. We look forward to the next few weeks getting ready for the Australian Offroad Championships at Coonawarra SA and the Hattah desert race in early July.
Thanks All,
Josh#203 & Mitch#204
The boys race with Powerplus 99
