QRCV SUPER SERIES 8, ROUND 1, ACT, REPORT

With the first round QRCV Super Series under our belt it was a great start to the season up in Canberra with over 70 entries. With thanks to Rick and Terri Beer we were able to conduct practice on the Saturday with most riders taking up this opportunity.
The track proved to be very technical and hard packed with lots of tight corners.

Sundays racing went off without a hitch. It was great to see so many of the Victorian riders making the effort to travel up north and support the club. NSW and QLD joined us in our racing, which was just fantastic, and they managed to take home quite a few trophies.

Smith and Siemensma our local Vic Pro riders were joined by Worth and Roycroft from NSW and Sherlock from QLD. Once again they put on a spectacle showing the other riders what these quads can do. After much lead swapping which was marvellous to watch since the track was so narrow in parts, the final points went down to Smith bringing in 1st place, Worth 2nd and Siemensma in 3rd. Aaron Ovens has definitely stepped up the pace and gave the other riders a run for their money coming in an extremely close 4th.

It was great to see the Womens class so well represented with Bartley from NSW, Gardiner from QLD and National champion Lindsay from Vic. Jeanette Lindsay managed a DNF in the first round with mechanical problems which looked like giving the 1st round away to the interstate competitors. In the second race both Patricia Bartley and Angela Gardiner connected and wedged their quads together so tight that it took 5 burly blokes to pull them apart giving both riders a no score. Victorian rider Vicky Eden now had the 1st place trophy in her site which caused great excitement in the crowd. Eden just had to come home safe and the trophy was hers, in all the excitement she threw in a huge no footer heel clicker which even shocked herself but the 1st place trophy was hers to keep. Vicky Eden gave her colorful speech that will go down in history, Bartley came second with a very close third going to Lindsay.

Young rider Mitch Van Vliet, along with Jon Wade, definitely are proving a force to contend with showing amazing speed and skill on their Blasters. Not far behind are the 90cc riders putting on a great show between Daniel Middleton, Kristopher Sabbatucci, Harrrison Van Vliet and Ben Wade. It was great to see new comers Chloe and Michael Beer put in a fantastic effort for their first race of the season on their home track.
The 50cc Division 2 riders were just as inspiring with their skill and agility throwing their little quads around the technical track.

Another rider who has stepped up the pace is Jason Pope on his YFZ450 taking overall 1st place in the Production class with Brendan Gina and Anthony Parsons never giving up the chase. Expert and Clubman were well represented with over 16 riders who tasselled it out through the tight course. With much consistency Chris Marks won the Clubman class, 2nd going to Ian Haggie of NSW and 3rd to Brett Rowe

Overall a very pleasing day with lots of happy riders taking home some great trophies.
