The Heis and Pros!
By Dick Law on 5th Aug 11
If you're looking for motocross heaven then a perfectly prepped Canada Heights under clear sunny blue skies has got to be on your short list, just ask any of the 7,500 sun-kissed fans who made the trip at the weekend!
Taking full advantage of the glorious conditions were MX1 and MX2 series leaders Brad Anderson and Elliott Banks-Browne, who once again cracked into the champagne from the top step of the podium courtesy of their continuing overall win streaks.
With Ando back on form with a convincing 1-1 it was EBB's turn to drop the ball as an uncharacteristic mistake in the second moto allowed Neville Bradshaw to pass and put an end to the Banks-Browne winning streak.
Brad Anderson on his PAR Homes Honda is back to his normal dominant ways after a couple of weeks where he seemed to have lost his way.
The racing was as hot as the weather at the famous Kent circuit as Martin Barr and Anderson went into turn one side by side at the start of the first Pro race, but as the pack disappeared round the track Neville Bradshaw was picking himself up out of the wet sand.
As usual, Elliott Banks-Browne on his Pulse Racing DB Honda was the first MX2 rider and was third on the track, with Mel Pocock in his wheel tracks.
Barr was pushing Anderson till the halfway stage when his KTM slowed and lost most of its power, an electrical fault was suspected after the race, this moved Nathan Parker into second place in MX1.
At the flag Anderson won with Banks-Browne not that far behind him with Parker third.
In race two it was Anderson all the way from start to finish as Barr held on to him for a while till Anderson slowly pulled away.
Banks-Browne and Bradshaw were fourth and fifth on the track, just behind Snow, but were in the lead of the MX2 class and the pair of fast racers were really going at it, never more then a few feet apart.
Gert Krestinov was having a better ride and managed to pass Snow for third with two laps to go, while Parker started ninth and finished fifth giving him second overall, behind Anderson, with Snow taking the last place on the MX1 podium."
Bradshaw was the first MX2 over the line, handing Banks-Browne his first defeat of the year. Pocock was third giving him third overall behind Banks-Browne and Bradshaw.
After racing was over for the day, MX1 winner Anderson said, "I have had some bad luck for the last couple of meetings so it's nice to be back to winning ways. I felt that I had something left in the tank and could have gone faster if I needed to. Roll on the next meeting!"
MX2 winner Banks-Browne said, "I didn't get a good start in the first race and didn't think I was riding that well but still managed to win."
