Harri was 2nd fastest in qualifying and shot out of the gate in race one, only to be pipped at the first corner by the Josh Gilbert. Harri kept with Josh and then as heavy rain started to fall mid-race, Harri knew he had to make a move to the front, which he did. Harri edged away from Gilbert winning by 11 seconds and 52 seconds in front of third place Conrad Mewse.
In race two Harri grabbed the holeshot but was soon passed by champion elect, Conrad Mewse. Harri kept Conrad honest for the entire race, never more than a few seconds back, but couldn’t quite get on the Honda rear wheel. 1-2 race finishes gave Harri the overall win but didn’t quite do enough to move him to second in the championship, as he finished only 3 points behind Josh Gilbert.
Harri Kullas – “Good to finish the season on a high. Started with a win and ended with one so I’m happy. I really enjoyed the track, and it was especially good after the rain. It had loads of grip and some good lines. I had good pace from qualifying where I was 2nd, my best of the season.
“Ran a bit wide on the first corner of race one and Josh came past, then the rain came, and I made the pass to win.
“2nd race I had the holeshot and then Conrad came past on the wave section, and I pushed to stay with him, and tried to pass a few times but he then pulled a gap. I came back towards the end but was happy with 2nd place as that gave me the overall win.
“Now looking forward to British MXGP in two weeks time and then MX of Nations”
Strong end to season for Carpenter
Jamie Carpenter came into the final round of the Revo ACU British Motocross Series lying in ninth position in the standings, as we headed to Monster Mountain in South Wales.
Jamie set the 8th fastest time in qualifying and then started on the edge of the top ten in race one, moving to 9th place early on and then putting in a solid performance as heavy rain came down, making up one more place to late on. Jamie wasn’t quite able to close on the group of 3 riders in front of him to make any more positions.
In race two, Jamie had a similar start and a similar race, moving up and making passes, importantly passing Brad Todd mid race which pushed him another place up the standings. Jamie came home in 7th for 8th overall”
Jamie Carpenter – “Two consistent races which helped me move up two positions in the championship. It’s not been the smoothest of seasons, but I’m happy to bring home 7th in the championship in my rookie season in the MX1 class”
Career best for Sam Nunn at MXGB
Sam Nunn was looking to turn good speed of late into good results, at the last round of the Revo ACU British Motocross Championship.
Sam had a good start inside the top 10, getting to 6th place early on. Sam was putting in a solid ride but didn’t seem to be closing the gap in Ben Mustoe and Billy Askew in front, until the last 4 or 5 laps when Sam dropped his lap times by an incredible 3 seconds, passing Mustoe for 5th with three laps to go, then a last lap pass on Billy Askew moved him to a fantastic 4th place.
Sam didn’t start so well in race one, and was in 12th place early on, before moving to 9th and claiming a fantastic 5th overall.
Sam Nunn – “Two solid races so I’m happy to finish the season on a high. It’s been a tough year but I’m happy with where we got to in the end. Big shout out to my team and sponsors for making it happen – none of it would have been possible without the help they have given me”
