KSMXC kicked off their 2022 season at a very sunny Mildenhall. The track hadn’t opened its doors for racing since the pandemic, so the club were in for a very busy meeting. With a full membership for 2022., Only very few non members managed to secure a gate on the day.
The under 35’s started the day, this fast group, saw Chambers Racing rider Alfie Jones take the lead in Moto one, but Jones went down half way through the first Moto, so Rob Wood took the advantage to take the first Moto win. Wood took the Holeshot in the second Moto, but Jones kept his head down and stayed consistent to take Moto two and three. Jones took the top step of the podium with Wood taking second, Richard Carter took the final podium place.
In the Small Wheel 85 Blake Ward-Clarke dominated the day and made the rough Mildenhall conditions look smooth..
