philmac Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Gillman Speedway last night hosted a round of the Ivan Mauger Golden Helmet Series. Although there were no international or 'big name' riders in the field the racing was very entertaining. Young British rider Kyle Newman rode very well and scored 7 points from 4 rides. Other riders worth mentioning were Todd Kurtz from NSW who rode brilliantly around the outside of the 2 Sedgmen brothers to take line honors in one of his heats. This was close to Todd's first ride in the 500 class having recently turned 16. Jake Anderson from Victoria had 3 wins from 3 starts but unfortunately fell in his 4th heat however made it to the final by winning the semi-final. Another youngster, Hugh Skidmore (NSW under 21 champion), showed great skill having 3 wins and a third from his 4 heat rides. The semi-final was contested by Jake Anderson, Ryan Sedgmen, Jason Stewart, Kyle Newman, Shelby Rutherford and Brock Gates. Jake Anderson went on to win and take his place in the final. Points after 4 heats were - Justin Sedgmen (11) Todd Kurtz (10) Hugh Skidmore (10) Jake Anderson (9) Kyle Newman (7) Ryan Sedgmen (6) Brock Gates (5) Shelby Rutherford (5) Jason Stewart (5) Sam Martin (3) Damien Koppe (2) Daniel Mutton (0) Final placings were Justin Sedgmen, Jake Anderson, Todd Kurtz and Hugh Skidmore Sidecars were also on the program with Mark Plaistead taking the honors followed by Darrin Treloar, Jack Spear and Mick Hedland (DNF) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
