Friday 29th April 2011
Weymouth based youngster Jamie Dixon will be out injured for 3 months after a horror crash in The Lydd Club Championship round 1.

After a long delay he was taken to hospital by a county ambulance for further examination. X-rays show he has broken his tibia, the largest bone in the leg connecting the knee with the ankle. He hope’s to be out of casts by the end of June and in training to return mid July. Everybody at Lydd wishes Jamie a speedy recovery and we hope to see him line up in the fourth championship round at the end of July.

Mark Baldock in a class of his own
Sunday 24th April 2011
Mark Baldock began the defence of his championship crown with a faultless 18 point maximum on Sunday. Mark, who won Malcolm Smith’s birthday bash last September showed no signs of pressure winning all his race's comfortably from the start. It was an incredibly hot day and the racing was difficult thanks to the dry surface. The meeting got off to a horrible start when Weymouth based youngster Jamie Dixon crashed heavily in heat 3. Jamie was taken to hospital with a suspected broken left leg. Kenny Bowdery won the under 200cc class while Martyn Smith led the way in the upright class. Paul Hubbard won the Under 200c over 15 class, the class was a charity event for Cancer Research. You can still donate towards this worthwhile charity by visiting Paul's Facebook page.
