Skeg on toast!
By Mike Wood on 18th Nov 11
Skeg-tastic, Skeg-tacular, Skeg-Vegas, just how can you even begin to describe what was another superb AMCA Skegness Beach racing weekend?
During the inaugural event in 2010, there was an estimated crowd attendance of 14,000. For the 2011 bash, the AMCA and SECWHA (Skegness East Coast and Wolds Hospitality Association) pulled out all the stops to again ensure another massive, roaring success with crowds flocking to the seaside town and watch two-days of great sand racing, all for FREE!
Not only was the action top class, but the prize-fund offered by SECWHA, Michelin, Massive Racing, Spiral Graphics and Muk Junkie was pretty tasty too! Bagging the lovely £1,000 cheque after topping the main solo class was Boost Energy KTM star, Nathan Parker, who fought off youngster Nathan Watson, Matthew Moffat, Neville Bradshaw and Dan Thornhill.
Other winners in the AMCA Skegness extravaganza were Anthony Dean (Veteran solo), Ben Watson (MXY2), Alfie Bowtell (Youth 85/150F), David Vass (Quads) and Richard Chandler/ Liz Millet (Sidecar).
