Long Compton on the 4th of June has sadly been cancelled. Pete has just spoken to the Farmer at Long Compton and its official its far too dry and dangerous to run an event there. We are so sorry, it’s a great track, in fact my favourite, but we will reschedule for later in the year. All of you who have booked in & paid we can either move your payment onto our Next Event or you can get a refund.

The British Youth Enduro
Round 1 at Redmarley, Gloucestershire - 26/27th February 2011
The opening round of the 2011 British Youth Enduro Championship, sponsored by Golden Tyre, got of to a flying start last weekend at the sandy Red Marley course near Bromsberrow in Gloucestershire.
The venue turned out to be a very smart choice by organiser Darren Gwyther, overnight rain on Friday and into early Saturday morning had little or no effect on the sandy soil and the Junior riders had not trouble getting around the large course with its gently rolling contours. One steep climb caused a little trouble on the sighting lap for the Auto riders but was quickly resolved when the marshals simply moved the track markers across the slope making a longer but less steep climb.
Adding to the event, the weather was very kind. As the Junior riders set off for their sighting lap the sun came out and continued to bathe the venue intermittently throughout the day.
With seventy-eight riders on the start line the BYE series really felt as if it had established itself having come into creation only last season. The day was divided into two races, starting with the Juniors (Auto’s and 65cc’s) followed by the Seniors (85, 125 and 250cc).
Once racing began 65cc rider Ryan Rowlands stole the show and led from the front for 15 laps, a lap clear of his closest competitor William Stansbie. Young Williams perseverance really paid off as he placed second overall despite being pushed hard by following rider Dominic Lancett. Lancett held on to third position as James Hanscombe took fourth and James Bates fifth in the 65cc’s.
All of the Auto class competitors did well around the large lap but it was Curtis Grose and Oliver Sheldon who were vying for the lead throughout the race. Grose just beat Sheldon to the finish line as both riders completed 13 laps. Alfie Webb sat in a comfortable third position ahead of Charlie Palmer and Callum Baldwin.
A large entry of Senior riders roared off the line just after midday. A seriously challenging woodland section, with lots of slippery off-cambers, was added to the lap but few of the young riders seemed phased by it at all.
In the 250cc class Bruce Eadle was constantly challenged by Scott Jenkins and Sophie Thomas. Thomas had recently returned to racing after a lengthy rest. All three riders matched each other lap for lap but Eadle kept calm and kept his slight lead right to the finish with Jenkins taking second position and Thomas third. The top three were joined on the podium by Henry Carroll and Jack Liddiard.
The real hard-chargers of this race came from the Over 13 85cc class. Brad Freeman took control right from the start and put in 15 super fast laps to win his class and the race overall. With Freeman totally in control, Dom Thomas and Jack Edmondson battled hard throughout the duration for second and third spots. A slight mistake from Jacko allowed Dom to cruise to second position and he had to settle for third. Both riders were on 14 laps, one down on Brad Freeman.
Joe Gwyther had a testing time in the Under 13 85cc class. From the moment the start flag dropped he held the lead and was pushing hard. He pulled quite a lead on the opening lap but managed to get his gear change bent under the engine casing and rode the last part of the lap using only first gear until he could pit stop and fix the problem. This handed the lead to Ben Coleman but Gwyther soon recovered and took the victory with Coleman second and Antoine Criq third. Brad Edwards, fourth, nearly closed the gap on Criq but fell just short of the mark as Dean Edwards slipped into fifth position.
The 125cc class was also fiercely contested. Katie walker took the holeshot and began to pull away from the pack with only Lewis Lloyd in close competition. Both rider managed 14 laps but the victory went to Lloyd who eventually caught and passed Walker but it was a hard-fought win. Jordan Pyne was a hot contender to take the class win but was somewhat shocked by the pace of the leading pair. He rode hard and eventually took third place a lap down on the leading pair. Josh Aughterlony wasn’t far behind Pyne and finished in a creditable fourth place ahead of Henry Kingsley in fifth.
The support from riders was very encouraging at the start of a new race series in its first full year. The course was excellent and perfectly suited to the riders abilities and the organisation was excellent. Despite having to use the tradition ‘holepunch and card’ system to lap score while a new computer program is written, the results were out within minutes and were spot on.
This series looks set to take Youth Enduro by storm as word spreads and more riders are attracted to it. The friendly, family atmosphere and laid-back approach of the organisers convinced many parents that this was the series to stick with.

"British Youth Enduro" Round 1 Long Compton 13th June 2010
The 1st Round of the British Youth Enduro was held at Long Compton on Sunday 13th June & both the Weather & Track were fantastic.
There were six class all lined up and ready to race.
We had the 250cc 4stroke, 125cc, Over 13 & Under 13 85cc + 65cc & Auto 50cc all fighting for Trophies.
Although the Number of Riders was lower than expected the atmosphere was alive and the distance peopled had travelled was amazing.
At 10.30 Mr Pete Carter Dropped the Flag and the 250cc 4*stroke, 125cc, Over 13 & Under 13 85cc were all cleanly away.
Charlie Sclater led the 125cc Class from start to finish with a faultless Ride and took a well deserved victory.
Ben Gwyther & Brett Moore spent the whole race swapping places in the 250 4* Stroke Class with Ben the eventual winner but he was made to work hard.
Katie Walker again impressed with another fantastic start in the Over 13’s 85cc Class and a healthy lead as she crossed the line in 1st Place. Katie also battled her way around the 250 & 125 class to tale 2nd overall. This young lady is a future Ladies British Champion & certainly one to Watch.
In the Under 13’s 85cc Class Luke Arnall shot off the line to get the 1st place which he held the entire race, Bradley Sullivan had a tumble and lost a lot of time but rode like a demon to claim an Excellent 2nd Place.
In the 65cc Class young Harry Vaughan grabbed the lead and never looked back and finished in 1st Place just two minutes ahead of his nearest rival young Ben Murray who put in an impressive performance.
The Auto 50cc was a complete Master Class from Dom Lancett who lead from start to Finish & managed to pass all of the 65cc Class and finished just 45 seconds behind Harry Vaughan to claim a fantastic 2nd overall.
The feedback we have received from the Riders & Parents has been overwhelming & we are very grateful for their support.
Our Next Round is at Ashby De La Zouch , LE65 1SD on 17th July, we look forward to welcoming you all again.
We now have have two new custom graphics kits available. Click here for more detail.
We have had a Race Shirt Designed exclusively for “ British Youth Enduro” , all of the Artwork & Logos have been printed into the Shirt.

After discussions and requests from the B.S.M.A we are to add a New Class to are Race Formats
There is now to be an Extra Class for 250cc 4 Stroke Machines for ages 14 – 17 Years
This will be available from our 1st event
Both Mr Pete Carter & Myself have been working hard behind the scenes to ensure that we have the very best partners in both Insurance and a Governing Body.
After many meetings we have decided to affiliate with the B.S.M.A.
As many of you will know the B.S.M.A have always been heavily into Moto X but now they want to widen their options and we are to be there 1st Youth Enduro Club.
We are in the process of finalising the Rules & Standards but these should be up on the site in a few days.
We know that many of you also take part in Moto X and will already have a B.S.M.A Licence but don’t worry if you do not have on as you can either get one on the Day at a fee of only £5.00 ( this is a special rate for British Youth Enduro) OR you can join for the year for only £25.00 ( and you can then use this licence to try your hand at Moto X)
Both B.S.M.A & Doodson’s are very excited about this new venture , we are planning to hold 5 – 6 events at venues in 2010 and then we will run the B.S.M.A British Youth Enduro Championship in 2011.
We will be running Ages from 6 Years up to 17 Years.
There will be a two race format, where the Auto 50cc Riders and the 65cc Riders will race in the 1st Event
The difference being that as we have two hand held scanners the Auto’s and 65’s will get scanned in two different rows.
This means that at the end of the Hours Racing the Auto 50cc Riders will peel off and finish and the 65cc Riders will continue
For a further 30 minutes. ( Two Races in one)
The Second Race will be Under 13 Years 85cc / 150 cc 4 stroke Riders, Over 13 Years 85cc / 150 cc 4 stroke Riders, 14 Years – 17 Years 125cc Riders
This race duration will be 1.5 Hours
We will rotate which group goes 1st as this seems only fair, please let us know what you think
Yours in Sport
British Youth Enduro
