East Coast MX: Round 4 Recap

As the series comes to a close, most of the points leaders were focused on consolidating their positions hoping to bridge the points gap leading into the final round in three weeks’ time. In the Junior Lites 125cc and 250cc divisions, Yamaha rider Seth Burchell continued his dominance taking the overall win and claiming 4 of 6 race victories on the day only dropping one race to Husqvarna rider Cooper Rowe on the 125’s and Cody Kilpatrick in the 250’s.

In the senior classes Yamaha rider Joel Lalicz won the overall with 1-1-1-2 finishes in the 450 Clubman class and reclaimed the points lead over championship rival Jack Arrow. What could have been for Danny Anderson sweeping all 4 motos in the 30-39 Vets, but has only done 2 rounds of the series so is out of championship contention. Series points leader Aaron Parker rode through the pain of a forearm injury to score valuable points and now holds only a 3 point gap in the championship over 2nd place; Trent Brochtrup heading into the final round. Yamaha rider Oscar Madge swept all 4 moto wins in the 250 Clubman class with championship leader KTM rider Seth Hardman 4th overall on the day.
