The Off Road Masters had its inaugural race last year at Fort Lytton MX circuit QLD and promised to be bigger and better than ever with a larger corporate following in it‰Ûªs second year. Unfortunately the weather put the mocker on the event. With spectators down due to the temperature (28degrees plus) and with wind gusts of up to 30knots it didn‰Ûªt make it comfortable for spectators. The weather also made the track difficult to ride with a huge amount of dust being created in most classes all be it that there were to big mud puddles on the track! A disappointing rider turn out saw around 80 plus riders compete for the days prizes with a few popular names among them. In the Pro 250 class Peter Melton showed dominance in the first 2 races creating his own race pace, however in the third and final race Luke Nelson passed him for a well deserved victory. Scott bishop finished third on the day also competing in the 125 Pro events as well.

Nathan Crawford seemed to be cruising in the 125 Pro class with the only competition coming from Scott Bishop who finished 2nd on the day with Chris Staff in third. Dean Mason ran away with the 85cc class as did Paul Tukaukin in the 125cc Clubman class. Tamara Grey showed why she rides with F1 on her plates completely dominating all three races of the Woman‰Ûªs class. Ben Roe used his speed and fitness to his advantage taking out the 250 Clubman class. Jayden Mulhalland and Chris Thompson put on a Freestyle Display and jumped the 2 freestyle ramps that were positioned on the circuit. With Jayden jumping the 70ft plus jump infront of the crowd and being pushed around by the wind it was considered far safer not to jump that one. So both riders decided to concentrate on the 60 footer to demonstrate their ability to the crowd. I know that they both wanted to give more but were really hindered by the strength of the wind apparently Jayden was busting back flips during the week leading up! Oh well maybe next year? There are plans already in place for next year‰Ûªs event so with a little bit of help from Mother Nature it will be one event not to miss!
