The NETT Club hosted the first round of the ACU British Quad championships of 2022 at Duns MX Park in Scotland. It was part of a fantastic two-day NETT MX event which incorporated the NETT Championship on Day one and the Sidecar and Quad British Championship on day 2. Rain overnight left the track very wet and muddy, but it dried out on race day with no further rain.
