Biffster banks Ellington The Dirtbike-traxs crew were once again at Ellington Banks Ripon where they staged the Husqvarna hare scramble, and once again suffered from "Ellington syndrome" every time DBT hold an event here it pours down, the rain started on Saturday evening and it rained until 8 am Sunday morning but Ellington can cope, with its hard standing car parking and all weather track. The dirtbike-traxs crew made several changes to the track over the last event which vastly improved the flow of the race. With the race duration set at 2 hours due to the weather conditions a full entry was lined up for the start, and as 10.30 arrived the starter gave the go signal and it was race on , newly promoted in to the expert class Tom Healey took the holeshot on his 144 ktm , Dave Wilson took up the lead briefly early on before Daniel Hiorns hit the front a lead he held for most of the race, but coming from the rear of the experts, after his winter lay off was the Biffster riding Simon Douglas's specialist breakers Honda crf 250 x, Biff took the first hour to settle back in to his rhythm then the current National Putoline Hare Scramble champion pushed on to take the lead , setting the fastest lap of the day on his way to the overall win with a 15 lap total, Daniel Hiorns took a well deserved second place , Gary Daniels took 3rd proving he is going to be a top expert contender for the new championship In the clubman class James Croft was the clear winner completing 14 laps with Mark Smith 13 laps second , Steve Watson took a deserved 3rd after a long lay off through various injuries.

I, Wayne Golding and all his regular riding mates, Tiley, Ryan, Caz, Mark and Gareth would like to say a massive well done to Craig on achieving what he has over the last two weeks. He started the rally with a cracked sternum and chest injuries but still got to the finish. We're all really proud of him and can't wait to welcome him home. He's the first welshman to attempt the Dakar and anyone who watched it on tv will agree that getting to the finish is a result in itself. Craig managed 54th but would have been 32nd had it not been for a technical error resulting in a 4 hour penalty. Well Done Craig, I feel a party coming on.
