trick and very fast scooters.Warren
Wilkinson took three wins to consolidate
his championship position, although he
was pushed all the way by the
combination of SteveWright and Stuart
Day,proving that age is no restriction to
speed.Wilkinson is really impressing in
his first year riding geared scooters after
making the switch from autos. Despite
Wilkinson’syouth, if you have veterans like
Wright and Day on your tail you really have
to be riding hard, which he certainly did
and was the only rider to dip into
49-second lap times, which is an average
speed of 72mph and is very quick around
Lydden. Behind them, Justin Price, Jason
Metivier and Dave Bristow hadavery
mixed bag of race results over the
weekend, but provided some great racing
between them.
Lydden is the venue for the now
traditional Memorial Race. Unfortunately,
this year’srace didn’t have suchafull
field, butWarrenWilkinson was flag-to-flag
winner to take the coveted award.
Although JohnWoods was the only rider
on an auto special over the weekend, he
used it well to chaseWilkinson and take a
great second place. In third was Damon
Tu nnicliffe, who turned up for this race to
try and take another win, having been a
winner in previous years. He certainly
showed that he still has what it takes.
The British Scooter Championship next
heads toWales and then it’sareturn to its
spiritual home at Three Sisters, which is a
love/hate experience for many riders.
