Cornwall schoolboy scramble club held a charity motocross meeting to raise money for the handstand appeal in aid of marshall janson.The club held the meeting at their new venue truthen farm near trispen,newquay.with a fast and long circuit taking up the space of two field's their was sure to be some fast and furious racing for the spectators to see and not 1 of the riders dissapointed.And with the extra groups of open amx,and a class of a few hardcore quad riders the day was sure to be very exciting.A short fall of rain fell first thing in the morning causing one of the hills to be a real struggle evan for some of our top riders through the practice laps. But the sun shined over the track and the racing began.
The three hardcore quad racers showed just how forceful and quick they really are.
the racing was so furious that contact was made a few times which really showed neither racer was going to back down at all.But it was the number 90 machine of D hart that managed to hang it out front pulling edges away on the other 2 racers lap by lap taking him self to 1st overall with 3 exhausting wins.
In race 2 of the quad class Matthew thomas had a problem and pulled out of the race,but a couple laps later he came back out to finish the race in third.Finishing the day with 2 thirds and a second.He finished in thrid overall.with the consistently try hard rider Tim jones taking the 2nd overall with 2 seconds and a third.
The Amx experts showed off their 2 wheel skills to the quad biker boys.Showing some extremely forceful and exhilarating speeds all day long.In race 1 of the day Daniel wade claimed the holeshot showing he wasent going to be messing around 1 bit.Also quad mounted,Matthew thomas raced the day in the amx experts showing just how high his fitness levels are.Unfortunatly the race 1 start for him couldent have been anyworse after stalling it in the 1st corner putting him to dead last.But he showed just how much of an expert rider he really was when he was soon up battling for 2nd with Leon burt.But it was Matthew thomas that took the 1st race win of the day with daniel wade staying out front taking the 2nd and leon burt took the 3rd.whilst the cr500cc machine came in 4th with the skillfull riding of Jason fraser.The race 2 holeshot was launched and and well claimed by sam chapman who was riding 1 of the older bikes of the class.Jason fraser had a fall dropping him well down the pack,but he soon showed the he could push to the front on his remedies bar race bike he raced for the second race of the day rather than the 500. as he powerd his way through the pack.Sam chapman and Gerald spiers had there own battle with each rider swapping places each lap a number of times.The top runners of the pack of Leon burt Daniel wade and Matthew thomas was neck and neck showing just how much the win would mean to each of them.But it was Leon that raged past the chequard flag first with Daniel close behind and matthew in third.In race 3 it was recently absent from the cornwall championship rounds rider Guy jacobs who took the final holeshot of the day on his friends borrowed bike.But Jason fraser was out front on the 500 but it wasent long till the powerfull riding of Leon,Daniel and Matthew pushed up past to once again battle for the final race win of the day and once again it was Leon that claimed it with Matthew in second and daniel third.Gerald Spiers claimed 11th overall just behind 10th overall Sam chapman.

The second race of the day was even more fearcefull but this time their was a clean start as the riders powered through the start straight.But once again A.P martyn was out front through the race and claimed the win,with Vince purnell claiming the second after a quick race.Whilst stuart george passed the chequered flag in third.In the final race of the day the slower riders of the group had a small head start,but it was only a loop untill the rest of the pack raged their way through dropping the slower riders back.It was soon A.P martyn out at the front again.As the racers powerd their way through the track mid pack rider Daniel Yateman pulled a big wheely up on the top straight.Altough soon out front in the begining lap A.P martyn was not the rider to take the chequered flag as he took second to finish the day.Whilst Stuart george claimed the last race win taking himself to second overall.Whilst Alan Chapman claimed 9th overall ahead of his son Sam chapman who came 10th overall.
A small line up of senior riders was just as quick and powerfull as the other classes.
