BSSO 2011 Championship - Round 3: Pembrey

Here's a couple of racing vids from day two at Pembrey which was Round 3 of the 2011 BSSO scooter racing championship.

Race 1: A change in weather conditions meant going back to dry tyres for the team. Josh put in a belting performance leading the whole ten lap race to finish first. Damon Tunnicliffe came second, seven seconds behind. Sam did well finishing fifth but things didn't go too well for young gun Joe. On the last race of day one Joe's engine case split clean in half so this meant an engine swap before day two. Joe got a taste of the action but his Zip was down on power after fitting the spare engine. Coupled with battling against strong headwinds he finished seventh, things can only get better!

Race 2: All the scooters lined up on the grid for one last time and away they went tearing into the first corner. Josh Brown went on to take yet another win with Joe in fourth and Sam in sixth. We didn't stick around long after our final race and was soon packed up ready for the long four hour journey back to Yorkshire. All in all it was a great weekend at Pembrey. Josh got quite a few wins and set another lap record, Sam managed to get a proper feel for his Zip after using different front tyres and Joe, despite having a few technical difficulties, picked up some all important championship points.



Next stop: Donington Park on June 19.

BSSO 2011 Championship - Round 2: Pembrey

Round 2 of this year's BSSO Championship took place at Pembrey in South Wales last weekend. The Pedstop Race Team were there of course competing in some less than favourable conditions on the track. Despite this the rain didn't stop Josh Brown from winning four races during the weekend as well as setting another new lap record. Young gun Joe Ravenscroft's Zip succumb to engine problems but despite this he put in another fine performance too. At just 14 years of age we feel the best is yet to come from Joe, watch this space. Meanwhile, Pedstop Sam put in a strong performance coming in mid-pack giving some of the more experienced riders a run for their money. Sit back and watch the 10 lap ordeal in our video from race three.
