Smith double leaves pack chasing
Race two of the Kawasaki Masters Championship marked a back to back win for 32 year old Paul Smith riding the Sandbach Scrap Metal Kawasaki KX250F.
In a display that saw the Huddersfield rider, eat away at his times earlier in the day. Once again he was once again the only rider to post a lap in the 2min 8sec bracket at the immaculately prepared Culham Moto Park in Oxfordshire. In fact, his times round the sinuous hillside circuit were so quick he stood a very real chance of dipping into 2min 7sec territory as early as lap three of the race.
Running hard behind Smith, the chasing pack also improved their times in the second outing. Paul Neale arrived at the finish in comfortable second place ahead of James Shaw, who improved his points tally impressively over his first race finish lower down the pack.
“We are delighted to see such a strong field, and applaud Paul’s dominance of the first day of racing in the Kawasaki Masters Championship”, commented Kawasaki Motors UK Branch Manager, Howard Dale. “Equally encouraging is the movement in the field between races with different riders achieving second and third places in each outing”.
