HIGHLAND MOTOX CLUB's first round of 2007 took place on a chilly but dry JAN Sunday with a large turnout of riders from as far afield as Thurso TO Edinburgh having to drive thru various horrible weathers, but the full days racing made it all worth while.

In 2nd place it was Donny Kennedy closely followe by brother Simon, well done 2 those lads from Fort Augustas. 2006 Champ, Barry Gray took a few tumbles, but still managed 5th overall. The Adult B's saw some very close racing with Brian Fraser of Fochabers grabbing the first race win from Fraser Gordon of Burghead. However, it was Fraser Gordon who pulled out the stops and took the next 2 race wins giving him the overall win. In 3rd place it was Ian Nicholson of Wick with very good results in race 2 and 3.  LEE CHASED BY RHAN CHALMERS EARLY ON IN THE C's The Adult C's were dominated with 3 race wins by Aberdonian Lee Sheperd on his KTM125, he simply cleared of and left the rest of them 2 it.

The upgraded AUTO track saw three different race winners, with Daniel Dey of Forres taking the o/a win from Adan Campbell of Inverness with 3RD place going to Owen Scott , also inverness. The 65's are going to produce some very close racing during 2007 between local riders, it's going to be hard work 2 be 2007 club champion. Starting of in the lead is Ian Findlay of Inverness on KTM, closely followed by Keiran Hunter of Fochbers on LEM, with Nathan Oman, Inverness in 3rd on his Kawasaki.  I THINK YOUNG FINNS IS HAPPYThe 85 s/w saw Lossie Loon, Josh Craig take a well deserved o/a win , first time out on his new KTM, while Grant Fraser of Fochabers missed out on the win by only 1 point.

Double race winner Ross Rutherford who suffered with some gremlins in race 2 dropping him to 9th in this race which gave him an overall third on the day.  YOUNG RJ MACKENZIE SETS HIS SIGHTS ON AIDAN CAMPBELL ( BOTH INVERNESS) An excellent days racing was had by all. From Autos to 450's, conditions were spot on, fully graded track featuring new uphill and downhill jumps, providing a real grippy surface, no dubs in sight, featuring fast flowing, close racing. Brian Fraser blasted of to a convincing first race win, closely followed by Iain Nicholson in second with Scott Smith in third, however, it was Scott who pulled out the stops and took the win in race 2 and 3 to give him the overall honours for Group B, Ahead John Mackenzie from Fochabers who secured 2nd overall. The Veteran Class was dominated by Ross Kelman, 3 straight wins by a guy who hasn't been on a bike for ages. So come on all U over 40's, get yer gear dug out and get out there n have some fun. Second place went to Dode Fraser on his Team Green machine, closely followed by Gordy Brown in third.  SEAN McDONALD SORES PAST A SLOWER RIDER IN THE 125'S......... In the C group it was Neil Miller, a sidecar passenger of Grand Prix fame who took the first race win, followed by two second places to Donald Cameron who took the overall win with 2 race wins and a second. Third overall went to Paul Allanach. The Auto class saw the top three placings seperated by only 6 points, with young RJ Mackenzie of Inverness taking top slot on his KTM with 2 race wins and a second keeping him 3 points ahead of race 3 winner Daniel Dey of Forres, also KTM mounted. Third overall went to another Invernessian Aidan Campbell. Maximum Man with 3 straight wins in the 65's was Danny Stalker, Dean Mcleod took 2nd overall with Keirran Macarroll of Forres with a consistant third overall.  KEIRAN HUNTER OF FOCHABERS, HEADS NATHAN OMAN OF INVERNESS IN THE 65'S In the small wheeled 85's the top three places were filled by Mathew Fleming, Ian Stewart and Lossiemouth Loon Josh Craig. These top three riders took 1st, 2nd & 3rd places respectavely in all three races. The big wheeled 85's were circulating faster than a lot of the Adults with top rider David Clarkson flying over the doubles to take the overall win ahead of Keith rider Iain Mckenzie, also Honda mounted. Third slot went Hannah Mcleod, go girl go.....  CLOSE COMPANY IN THE 85'S In the 125 class the top 5 riders finished in the same placings, 1 st to 5th, throughout the day, however this did not reflect the close racing that took place, eg, overall winner Sean McDonald was not always in first place, as were other riders, but somehow, they all managed to end up in their respectave slots. with Kevin Mcdonald of Nairn taking 2nd overall , 6 points ahead of Allan Shields. A big thanku to all the Volunteers, Marshalls, Adrian and Andy for their mods to the track plus all others that make these events possible . PLUS CHECKOUT http://www.dodspics.com/index.htm
