Ride n Slide Dayz 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Dragons Amateur Speedway Club crowned the first of it's 2012 Champions in a cracking event at The Old Gun Site, Sittingbourne on Sunday. Competition in both Classes was fierce but for the first time, both trophies were secured with flawless maximums. In the Support Class event it was Sittingbourne stalwart Steve Edwards who finally delivered a performance that he has been threatening all year. Just a point adrift in second was Tony Raybould with Kieron Davidson completing the rostrum line-up, beaten only by the two aforementioned riders. 2011 Champion Ted Ede saw his hopes for retaining his title fade when he suffered terminal bike problems in his second outing but like the true legend he is, the lively 75 year old stayed to hand over his crown upon completion of the days events. In the Intermediate Class reigning champion Mike Osborne suffered an extremely rare off-day and lost his crown to the absolutely faultless Graham Knowler. Knowler was untroubled throughout the day neither by track conditions that changed continually or by opponents alike and proved a thoroughly deserved victor. The Runner-Up spot went to Gordon Walker on 13 points by virtue of his first ride victory over Mick Skinner who finished with an identical tally. Next up is the Club Class Championship to be raced for at the Norfolk Arena, King's Lynn on Sunday October 28th with a mid-day start. The event is open to all abilities as there will be support classes on the day. Although qualification for the Championship is required (a minimum of two meetings must have been completed) it is still possible for non-qualifyers to take part and pit their skills against those taking part. Contact Julie Tutton to reserve your place asap, entries close this Sunday, the 21st. 07920 002785 or 01633 858899 The final event of the Dragons calendar will take place two weeks later back at the home of the Kings Lynn Stars with the eagerly awaiting and pioneering Big Bash Event. The Dragons Club continues to innovate while others watch on with envy with a race event with a twist, where even if you're a winner you can still end up a loser !!! and vice-versa, obviously ;o) Julie is taking bookings too for this event, and with the 4pm start time, we will be seeing the season outr under the floodlights at the top Elite League circuit.
