IT was hot work at Dry Gill on Sunday where forty three Horsforth Motor Club members chased Simon Green Championship series points.

The sun beamed down on the venue mid-way between Grassington and Greenhow with not a vestige of shelter for the competitors and the eight hardy observers who had to stay at their positions. Only two adults contested the hard route but the winner, Steve Fowler and rival Harry Wills, were shaded by Otley youth Harry McLoughlin who was a close second to Fowler. Bradford veteran Chris Johnson had no problems apart from Harrogate sawmill owner Robert Hardisty who shone in the heat. Sixteen youngsters rode the small wheel class which was won on the hard route by Skipton's Jonnie Fannon. Jimmy Crabtree and Huddersfield girl Alana Eagleton won their respective classes.
