Blacktown Regional - 29/3/15

Sunny skies, moderate temperatures and impeccably prepared grounds and event areas greeted riders for the first round of the Regional Minikhana Series for 2015 at Horsley Park.

Blacktown members should be proud of the preparation of the grounds for the inaugural round of the 2015 series, providing clean and well groomed event areas that produced some great racing.

15 Hornsby Members competed on the day in all classes, with some great results.  As the day progressed, so did the medal tally as delighted riders arrived back from events with smiles and stories to share and compare.  Occasional frowns were to be seen at times but were generally few and far between.

Some high cloud cover developed later in the day bringing the temperature back down but did not stop the fierce competition.  As we came to the close of the day, final points were tallied and left the Hornsby Club in 4th position overall.  Helping us to that position on the Club Leaderboard were the following results:

50cc B grade: Ben #50 - 1st
50cc A grade: Will #693 - 2nd
Miniwheel B grade: Declan #9 - 3rd
Miniwheel A grade: Ethan #38 - 3rd
Miniwheel A grade: Mateo #31 - 2nd
85cc SW A grade: Carly #41 - 2nd
85cc JBW A grade: Matt #262 - 2nd

Well done to all members for their great sportsmanship, camaraderie and positive attitudes.  You always do our club proud and look great in your riding jerseys.  Keep up the good work and the great riding.

The next round of the Minikhana series will be on May 3rd, when the Hornsby club hosts round 2 at the Junior Trials club grounds in Gwandalan, Central Coast.  To make this event as successful as it has been in the past, we NEED ALL MEMBERS to help out wherever you can.  An open committee meeting will be held on Wednesday night, April 22nd at the Dural Country Club starting at 7pm.  All members are encouraged to come along and listen to what the committee is trying to achieve and need to do to run our regional event.
