Night Rhayader 3!
By TMX Archives on 2nd Jul 08
RHAYADER Motor Club once again plays host to some of the nation's hottest riders when it holds the final round of its Welsh Open Motocross series at the all action Cwmythig Hill next Wednesday evening, July 9. There has been a great turnout of nearly 3,000 spectators to watch the previous two rounds of the series, sponsored by PAR Homes Ltd and Bache's Bargains, and there's also been some great racing on the spectacular hillside circuit just outside Rhayader, Mid-Wales. The course is littered with all action jumps and also features a breath-taking downhill ski jump, wall of death berm, the new whoop section plus the infamous 65ft finish-line tabletop jump.
And there's a brilliant national class entry taking part led by series leader Ray Rowson (PAR Honda) (pictured), Mark Jones & Ashley Greedy. Also on the cards and hoping to challenge those boys are recent Maxxis winner Wayne Smith, Lewis Gregory and Shane Carless. Other names competing include Jamie Lewis, Kip Herring and Alex Snow.
With practice at 6.15pm and the first race at 6.45pm, there's a slickly run 11 race programme with each class getting three races.
The final race of the night is the big money Grand Final Dash for Cash' where all the evenings top runners get the chance to win some serious money.
The track, all of which can virtually be seen from one vantage point, has again been fully prepared for this final round, and for this final round the club will also have a firework display after the Grand Final to mark the end to the series.
Entry fee is just 5 for adults while children under 14 go free.
As well as the races, there will be children's quad bike rides, bouncy castles, refreshments, licensed bar, a tarmac drive leading into the circuit with excellent hard parking and permanent toilets - everything, in fact, for the family to enjoy a night out in the open.
July 9 is the night - this is the big one.
