First in to Bat'
By TMX Archives on 11th Mar 10
FIRST round winner Len Hutty was edged into third place in the second round of the Normandale Traditional Classic Trials Championship for solos, which was integrated into the Camborne-Redruth club's Colin Dommett trophy event at Lanner in Cornwall on Sunday, by Cumbrian Carl Batty and local regular award winner Phil Wickett.
Batty lost single marks in the second, third and sixth subs in Penventon Quarry. He had a two at the Wellington Mine group plus two single mark debits at Carn-Marth.
Wickett and Hutty both fived the sixth sub at Penventon, and Wickett added three to his tally in Carn-Marth, and Hutty also fell victim to the moss covered slopes of Wellington Mine.
In the B class, Phil Wiffen kept his feet glued to the pegs until three subs from the end.

Tuck'ing in another win
THE Colin Dommett Trial moved from it's traditional venue, down the road to near Redruth, but that did not stop the usual Saturday night out in the Central Bar, Newquay. So the good news for the sidecars was a late start, letting the solos go first with the sidecars away after 10.30am.
The Cambourne & Redruth MC again staged the third round of the Challenge Lusky British Sidecar Championship, based this year at the Coppice Inn at Lanner in West Cornwall. The weather was on the side of the organisers, bright, sunny, but cool
