A beautiful September day dawned over Tye Farm, Great Cornard as the twisty track across a large expanse of undulating stubble promised a testing course for the entries. Everyone’s main concern was visibility, in the wake of dust left by other riders on corners with deep berms.

This Annual memorial event for Sudbury Motorcycle Clubs late chairman Dave Roper to provide funds for upcoming youth riders is run with a series of Motocross style races with heats creating 4 fast class finals at the end of the day’s event. As each race was just over 20 minutes it meant the pace was ferocious and provided spectators with some very entertaining racing.
The presentation by Dave Roper’s wife Mrs Bev Roper with some of her grandchildren proved a touching close to the event as she presented her son Jamie with 2nd place in the A final despite 2 earlier wins and a hard-fought battle with Travis Frost for first place.
