Due to heavy fog first thing and a damp braking area competitors ran to the eighth but as the championship is based on the eighth this proved the concept nicely.

There was a late start to proceedings due to the fog but everyone managed at least 3 runs of qualifying.

In Six Sixty Bikes top qualifier Ashley Hodgson, Suzuki 1000, beat Damion Hope, Hayabusa, and Gilbert Cook, 1200 Suzuki, in quarter and semi finals to make the final.

Rob Briers had a good run on his Nitrous Suzuki Bandit beating Dave Knight and Jamie Brookes, Jamie breaking out in his semi.

It looked like being a hard fought final from the 2 experienced racers but sadly Rob’s nitrous was his downfall, he forgot to turn on his bottle so Ashley took his first Six Sixty win.

Eric Cope beat Jamie Lawn in the quarter final, Jamie charging hard but breaking out. Eric was then on a bye in the semi’s going through to the final against Paul Gurney beating Paul Priestley, breakout, and Stuart McVicker in the semi.

Paul gave his best shot against Eric but was another throw it away with a breakout.

Only a small field of 4 riders with new bikes for 2025 to get used to.  Toby Jackson having a Benelli 117cc, Jorja Cleall Kawasaki 250cc, Jet Jackson taking over Toby’s 3 wheeler and Alfie Barraclough, whose new bike wasn’t ready on Jack Taylor’s 2024 bike.

With a string of personal bests for Alfie he made it through to the final beating first timer Jet. Toby beat Jorja to meet Alfie in the final.

The final was neck and neck with both going under their dial in times but Alfie took the win breaking out by the least amount.

Jude Elliott beat Dexter Wilson in the first semi and Jake Little going through on a bye.

The final was looking close at the stripe but Luke went a tenth under his dial in so Jude took the round 1 win.

Six Sixty Sportsman was won by Peter Lane in his supercharged Pontiac Firebird.
