Hornsby Regional - 29/4/18

“Isn't it a lovely sunny day for the Hornsby Regional” said no one ever!
On Sunday 29th May the heavens opened up once again for the Hornsby Interclub which was held as usual at the JT club at Gwandalan.

Over 180 riders braved the muddy conditions to compete in the planned events for the day. With an early start, bikes were scrutineered, riders were signed on and goggles were wiped (and wiped and wiped)! 

After riders briefing the eager riders were led to their event areas and began to negotiate the slippery conditions.  There were some close heats and in most classes with only winners going through to the semis and finals riders had to be at their best! Events included, looping, orange, slow, ring return, non-footing clover, accler8 and mini cross. 

65cc ‘C’ grade had the largest group with 27 riders and the smallest group was 50cc A grade & 85cc  A grade with both only having 4 riders  

The nippers were well catered for during the first half of the day as they were able to enjoy a combination of enduro and minikhana events as they split into 2 main groups. The enduro track consisted of a specially marked 1 way loop that had a range of obstacles which were challenging and fun for most riders.  They also were given use of an entire event area to practise their skills around the witch hats. After lunch they were also treated to exclusive use of the small minicross which allowed them to fill their appetites for some motocross. I think it was safe to say that the nippers had a pretty big day! 

The raffle was drawn throughout the day with the largest prizes being drawn at the end of the day and keeping everyone in suspense. Thanks again to all our sponsors as this day would not be possible without your help.

Congratulations to the podium winners for the day and to all riders. Also Congratulations to Hornsby for coming 3rd out of the 7 clubs. For the full list of results click here.

A huge effort was put in by our small club. It was a great team effort from the entire committee and members to organize the day! Also, thanks to JT members for helping set up on the Saturday and for also allowing us to ride at their fantastic club.

Parents were rewarded with some amazing washing at the end of the day!
