Round 2 would prove to be an interesting turn of events in the Junior B class. After being given a riding lesson by both the Motordirex riders in the first round of the BCPBRA and PCMRC race 2, Nick McComber had other ideas coming into this event.

The 27 GP3-R09 of Aiello Theys would suffer from all sorts of problems this round. A faulty tyre valve would hold air for no more than 2 minutes and a gas line disconnecting spilling fuel on the rear tyre causing the 9 year old to crash coming off the fastest section of the track. The spin would prove to do more damage mentally as Theys would lose a load of confidence for the remainder of the day.

Race One
Ayrton Tyrrell showed why he is undefeated this season on his 69 Polini replica taking race one unchallenged by McComber or Theys.

The battle for 2nd spot would be a close one as a rejuvenated McComber and a confidence shot Theys would swap positions several times. Theys would come out ahead by less than a tyre length over the 20 machine of McComber as they crossed the finish line.

Race Two
At the drop of the green flag it was McComber that would charge to the front through both Tyrrell and the hole shot master, Theys. The number 20 bike would lead a majority of the race with Tyrrell close in tow and Theys trailing back looking to finish the race tyre side down.

While McComber looked comfortable running ahead of the GP3-R09 of Tyrrell, our points leader had other plans. With a great show of maturity and patience, Tyrrell would happily sit behind McComber lap after lap until a move down the inside into the last corner would put the 69 machine into the lead. Tyrrell would gap McComber and take the win with McComber in 2nd and a suffering Theys in third.

Join us for Round 3 on September 5th.
