The Cab Screens Crescent Yamaha team bounded into Blaxhall on Sunday for round four of the Revo ACU British Motocross Championship where Harri Kullas came into the round as series leader, with a 3 point cushion.
Harri qualified well in third place, then flew out of the gate on his Yamaha YZ450F to a clear holeshot, leading early on. Harri was passed by Josh Gilbert and then Conrad Mewse and then held down a comfortable third place at the finish.
Another text book start for Harri in race two, but Conrad Mewse went past on lap one, followed soon by Josh Gilbert, and Harri held down third place until the finish, for third overall.
Harri Kullas – ”Overall a decent day. We’ve done lots of work lately and have a good set up, but today 3rd was the best I could do. I had two holeshots, but rode tight and had some arm pump. Not a great day but also not disappointed as I’m still right in the championship”
Carpenter goes top ten at Blaxhall
Jamie Carpenter continued his Revo ACU British MX championship at Blaxhall, Suffolk, for round four, coming into the series in 11th place, following a no score at round three.
Again Jamie put in an excellent qualifying time to finish 5th, and then made his good gate choice pay, starting in 6th place on lap one. Jamie made a comfortable gap for himself from Ashton Dickinson, but could never quite close the gap to 5th, and finished in a very good 6th place.
Jamie didn’t start so well in race two and was well outside the top 15, but put in a sterling performance to pick off riders, and move to 10th place with a few laps to go, but couldn’t make any more ground up and finished 10th for 8th overall on the day.
Jamie Carpenter “Positive day for me at Blaxhall, starting off with a great qualifying in 5th position. Race one I got a decent start and was up in the mix and brought home a solid 6th position, which is my best MX1 race result so far.
Race two I was unfortunate at the start and had to come from the back to 10th position, for 8th overall on the day.
Overall I’m happy with today and we made some great improvements with the bike just a couple days before the race. I look forward to keep improving and hopefully progress in the championship at the next rounds”
Day to forget for Sam at Blaxhall
Sam Nunn was looking to build on some good speed and results of late, at Blaxhall for round four of the Revo ACU British Championship.
A struggle in qualifying saw Sam 17th fastest, so he chose a risky inside gate that paid off, as Sam was 4th on lap one. He edged away from 5th place and pulled a gap, until at half race distance a mechanical issues forced him out of the race. A heart-breaking end to what was looking like a great race.
Sadly another mechanical gremlin surface on the sighting lap of race two for our MX2 pilot and he was unable to start the race.
An incredibly tough day, but Sam is fit and healthy and showed he has top 5 speed in race one.
