Rounds 14 and 15 were held in Williams Lake on Aug. 11 and 12 for the BCMA racers. A large turn out for the Quesnel racer's resulted in a lot of hardware coming home to Quesnel. Despite up to 35 degree weather, the racers put 100 per cent into this event after a month off. Race results were not posted yet on the CMRC/BCMA website however here's a review of some of the action.
It was great to have Scott Davis back on the track after several months off due to an knee injury. And, he was able to place in the top three in the over 40 class. Brian Watson also finished in the top three, along side Davis. Son, Jordy Davis, #109 raced in the intermediate class, taking a cash prize on Saturday. He raced hard on Sunday to cash in once again in the top 3, but unfortunately, due to mechanical issues, was not able to complete racing on Sunday.
Jackson Nickolet, #671 once again held his top positions, taking home a second place trophy on Saturday and a first place trophy on Sunday.
Colton Shepherd, #82 was also back on the track this weekend, after a month off due to injury. He proved he still had it, taking a hole shot both days to start out his race and finishing right behind Nickolet with a third place on Saturday and finishing second over all on Sunday.
Eleven year old Spencer O'Flynn, who has been racing for four years on his 85cc Yamaha, also had no trouble staying ahead of his competitors on Saturday in the 7-11 class, taking his first place trophy home to Quesnel.
Haiden and Austin Watson also raced hard, with Austin proudly taking home a first place trophy in the 85cc class age 12-16.
Beginner class racers Jordan Brears, Brett Lamarsh and Jared Lucas, also from Quesnel, raced successfully, taking home trophies. There were more racers from Quesnel that also endured the heat to have fun for the weekend. For final results check the CMRC BC Mainland results page.
Racer's look forward to attending the second Annual BCMA Pro-Am Championships coming up at the Whispering Pines Race Track in Kamloops on Aug. 31 - Sept. 2 followed by rounds 16 and 17 back in Williams Lake on Sept. 14 – 15.
