R13 Friction Hydraulics Series: Birkenhe...
Round 13 of The Friction Hydraulics Series proved unpopular with County riders, taking place the morning after Round 12 and attracting just five entries from Shropshire riders – only four of whom started.

R8 Friction Hydraulics Series: Ludlow CC...
A traffic-affected 8th round thankfully didn’t alter the destination of the podium riders, with clear space between the Top 3 as the Ludlow CC 10 returned to The Friction Hydraulics Series.
