BYMX heads for a Woodford weekend
By TMX Archives on 9th Jul 08
AFTER a very successful fourth round at Leuchars, the Moggstar BYMX championship returns to the south of the country, to the hard-pack track at Woodford for round five of the hotly contested series, run by the Northampton SMXC.The club is working hard to make this round one to remember and they have all the details up on the club's website with details and news about the track, directions and more.
Scott Elderfield will be out in the Open class to try and take over the lead from championship leader Joe Gregory after closing the gap at the top to just two points with his overall win at Leuchars. Tommy Fenwick is just behind the top two, with just eleven points difference between him and Elderfield and, with Lewis King and Edward Allingham also in the hunt, any of the three could close in on the top two if they have a bad weekend.
Luke Hawkins will be hoping to extend his lead at the top of the Big-wheel 85cc class after finishing second to Daniel Hutchinson in the overall at Leuchars, even though he had a bad time on day one. Second placed Ryan Houghton had some good results at the last round to keep his place behind Hawkins, but one man on a mission was the smooth and fast Daniel Hutchinson and he will be out to upset the top two at Woodford. Paul Coates and Jamie McCanney are the next in line and will also show well.
In the Small-wheel 85cc class, it looks like this will go down to the end as leader of the class, Jordan Godwin, takes a slender lead into Woodford from James Dunn and Michael Eccles close behind. In fact there is only 28 points difference between the leader and third place. Callan Cooper and Corrie Southward could also upset the top three as they are back on form after great results at Leuchars.
Ben Green (pictured right) in the Junior 65cc class will be hoping to continue his winning ways, coming to Woodford after a clean sweep at the Elite Championship at Mildenhall. Green will want to extend his lead from Jason Meara, Robert Yates and back on form Ryan Snaith. This will be one class to watch as the top four battle for the championship. Anything can happen, so watch this space.
