National motocross returned to the Blaxhall Pits Circuit last Sunday for the penultimate round of the Dunlop supported British MX323 Championship together with the final round of the British Ladies series.
Woodbridge and DMCC club members were the more-than-capable hosts – but on an altogether difficult day as persistent and heavy rain turned the lovely Suffolk sand into a right old muddy morass.
Qualification got underway in what were already quite awful conditions but there was no holding Belgian import Maarten Cremers.
He snatched the MX3 pole from Jamie Law, Jamie Lewis and Dorren Coutts, but only by a whisker – with all three of the chasing guys less than half-a-second behind.
In an almost equally-tight Under 23s session Scott Elderfield returned the quickest lap with just two seconds covering the top four completed by Shane Carless, Alan Keet and Lewis Tombs.
