BYMX round five at Canada Heights has ACU Events in the organisational hot seat but the iconic Kent circuit takes a weekend lashing from the elements. Thankfully day two has less rain on offer and the famous old course holds up wonderfully well. The championship continues to boil and there are superb overall wins for Alexander Brown (65s) and Conrad Mewse (SW85s) as they tighten their grip. It's a different story in the other two divisions however with series leaders Liam Knight (BW85s) and Nathan Watson (Youth Open) both now having mounting pressure to deal with as the title chasers close in.

Sticky Sussex clay at round 6 of the British Clubman Sidecar Championship led to more than one motor going bang and clutches burning out! This unfortunately applied to the current series leaders, Neil and Michael Franks, who after a storming win in race 1 were forced to retire on the penultimate lap in the second calling a halt to their day! With the other teams close to them in the table also suffering problems they still are leading the championship and amazingly only dropping two points to Dave Goddard and Scott Cooper in second place.
