with the generous assistance of the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries there have been improvements made to the track.

As in previous years there has been a call for more spectacular jumps and during the summer -- under the guidance of president Ras Mykkal and rider Buddy Joell -- the course has been made more challenging for the riders.

A new 60cc class has been introduced and will make for an easier progression from the Pee Wees to the 80cc class. Presently there is just Chris DeSilva in the 60cc class but more riders are expected in that class.

This year the Pee Wee class will be an official class, combining the 50cc (five riders) and the 80cc where there are two riders.

Some nine 80cc riders were on the track on Sunday but champion Kemo Simons was not one of them, along with Jason DeSilva and Jaime Ford he has made the move up to the 125 C division.

Simons has already settled into his new class, starting the day with a second and then finishing with two firsts while Kyle Constable had the other first.

DeSilva had three thirds and Mike Burgess two seconds.

The 125 B class lost defending champion Aaron Pace who is abroad in school.

His place is being taken by former 125 champion Cory Smith, who is returning to the track, while brothers Chris and Leroy Maxwell take their rivalry to the 125 B class.

Robbie Smith and Justin Belboda return with the Honda Four Star Pizza team while Buddy Joell is expected to mix it up on his Kawasaki. Smith has already made his intentions known, romping to three firsts while Devon Moss had two seconds and Belboda a second and two thirds.

In the 80cc class Jamal Hassell won all three motos with Shaki Easton having two seconds and a third and Craig Panchaud a second and two thirds.

The Pee Wee champion for the day was Steven Panchaud with three firsts while Maurice Symons had three seconds and Lawrenzo Trott two thirds.
