SCEC/Rogershill Raceway ISDE team - Day 3

Danny dropped 24 minutes today due to a broken throttle cable. The Purple Helmets helped to save the day, apparently the cable was repaired by tying a knot in it which not only worked but amazingly lasted the day! No problems today for Tyson or Wayne who both stayed on time.

• Danny 107th C2
• Tyson 97th C2
• Wayne 32nd C3
• Team position 61st

• Danny is up to 67th
• Tyson had gear selector problems but was able to repair the bike during the stage. This cost him some time knocking him down to 109th but he finished the day and is good to go with day 3.
• Wayne is up to 35th
• Our team placing has dropped to 61st

Danielle's update....

"After all the planning the event got underway under the soaring Portugese sun, Dan was first off the line at 9.38 this morning followed by Tyson, then Wayne. A fairly easy day on the going but a lot of sand was involved on the tests, with the final test of the day on the beach!

All riders finished on time and full results can be found on the ISDE site.

Time for rest and then off we go again tomorrow. A good day was had by all I think!"

• Danny is lying 73rd in the C2 class on 44:37:60
• Tyson is lying 59th in the C2 class on 43:09:61
  
• Wayne is lying 45th in the C3 class on 56:23:61
• Team placing 54th (of 91)

Tamsin Jones Dakar 2010...

Tamsin loves a challenge. Twice British Ladies Enduro Champion, twice best girl in the Red Bull Romaniacs, best girl in the Dawn till Dusk, best girl in the El Chott rally of Tunisia, best girl in the Turaeg Rally, and many of you have been well and truly thrashed by her at our own SCEC events! We like all that, so when she told us she was off to have a go at the Dakar, well we always knew it was only a matter of time.

It's a huge undertaking and she's well on her way but there's a long way to go. Take a few minutes to look over her website - and if you want to help her along you can do that there too.

Maze in the Maize results...

Sunday’s SCEC Maze in the Maize event was won by Paul Cowshall on his Future Racing KTM. The superb cross-country circuit incorporated a bit of everything, including several miles of circuit carved through 160 acres of 2 metre high maize crop.
The event was blessed with a full entry and perfect weather, and whilst not technically difficult, was reckoned to be one of the most physically demanding events of the SCEC calendar. Gary Wright and Dave Nuttall chased Paul home for 2nd and 3rd respectively while 4th man home and best Vet was Mik Hill (racing on a trials tyre). Jerry Box rounded out the top 5 to take best Expert.

Last minute Maze in the Maize news...

The course is cut and we're good to go! To put one of these together you need a very understanding farmer, some very careful planning, and a bit of luck. You also need some pretty fancy equipment - to cut the course through the 160 acres of Maize we needed to bring in a huge German built Forager (costing a mind blowing £100,000!) fitted with a special Maize cutter head another (costing another £35,000!). The cut crop, hundreds of tons of chopped maize, then has to be hauled away to storage by a team of tractors & trailers. It's worth the effort though and with the weather looking good too riders and organisers can't wait for tomorrow!

Look forward to seeing you there

Gary & the team
