Sudbury MCC- GH Motorcycles Eastern Centre Round 1 Foxborough Quarry Sible Hedingham Essex Solo – 16th May 2021

The first solo round of the Eastern Centre Championship sponsored by GH Motorcycles at Foxborough Quarry took place Sunday. With a full adult entry of 130 riders across 6 classes the track was always going to busy and after the heavy rain fall Saturday and a dismal forecast predicted on the Sunday the pocket of land in Sible Hedingham managed to escape the downpours and the course held out for the two and half hour adult race.

A fierce tussle between the Championships class riders ended up with the bog taking a few casualties as always and providing ample entertainment for any witnesses, with Ben Clark taking the top spot on 19 laps with Luke Parker in second on 18 Laps and Ben Cole less than two seconds slower on the same. Sudbury Club members Jake & Phil Roper took both expert podium positions after second place last month in the two man at the clubs first event of the year, son Jake Roper took the expert title and father Phil Roper taking the Expert vet. title so much to celebrate in the Roper household. Another Sudbury member and part of the Dave Roper team took first place in Clubman Class for the second time this year, having won the 2 man back in April a consistent result for Suffolk based Barnaby Knight, second place went to Joe Henthorn no stranger to the numbered boxes and third place to Colin Brand who sadly didn’t make the presentation and missed the fun of spraying a bottle of bubbly over fellow winners. This entertaining challenge was duly accepted by the remaining winners and runners up, cementing a new tradition for the rest of the year as we celebrate coming out of lockdown and look forward to the remaining series of events.
