Held on the Boningale to Shifnal course, riders faced a […]

Reigning BBR Hill Climb Series Champion Tomos Hales headed back to the top of the standings after Round 2 after taking a solid win in his own club’s promotion on Willomoor Bank. At just a sniff under a mile Hales coped best with a course where regular changes of gradient are thrown into the mix […]

R18 Friction Hydraulics Series: North Sh...
The destination of seven Friction Hydraulics medals and three Championships was decided in the 18th and penultimate round, North Shropshire Wheelers’ 25.

R7 Mower Mec 2-Up Series: Wrekinsport CC...
A dead heat for first place made for an intriguing ending to 2023’s Mower Mec 2-Up Series as riders faced a quite different challenge to normal. With 4-way traffic lights at Crudgington crossroads a move to the tight and technical Shawbirch – Long Lane circuit for Round 7, run by Wrekinsport CC meant 11 turns […]
