The fourth and fifth rounds of the 2020 Nora-MX Championship, the only double-header of the season, saw all main adult and youth class winners stamp their authority across their respective class races. There was plenty of action behind them, and in the sub categories too.

The racing was as hot as the weather, and the hard-packed track demanding and challenging.

With the fastest racers in the country lining up for the Nora-MX ATVs Only Pro class, it is virtually the UK’s British Championship. Harry Walker won all five motos across Saturday and Sunday, however, the top three changed frequently with Jamie Morgan, Simon Hammersley, George and Tom Day all taking podium positions.

Alfie Walker was unstoppable in the Clubman Elites, taking all class wins ahead of Robbie Walker and Ryan Walters, with Joe Pryke putting in a great Clubman performance and Cameron Wildman also featuring well.

The Masters was once again the Ed Davies show, with maximum wins and max speed. Paul Winrow, Darren Bridge and Johny McKnight were up with him on the Saturday, with Chris Keitch entering the top-three frame on the Sunday.

Tom Bainbridge extended his lead in the Intermediates with Gavin Roach and Catrin Davies keeping him company in round four. However, in round five Harry Walker #169 had a storming day, taking the runners-up slot in all three races. Davies third, securing the top Ladies slot in the process on both days. Will Mead was dominant in the Novice sector.

In the youth ranks, Chad Beevers maintained weekend-long a clean sheet in the Geared 250s, while Ross Dillon was the one to beat in the Air-cooled class. The 100cc Geared group saw Frank Marston, closely followed by Louie Holt, with Seth Balaam running out front in the 100cc Autos. Harriett Mewse showed the rest of the 50cc field her rear wheels, with a maximum five wins out of five starts, rocking it for the girls.

Round six of the championship travels to Little Silver in Exeter this weekend on Sunday, the 19th of September 2020.
