fortnight ago, but it was action all the way when the sun shone on Sunday.

The Mini Bikes led off the event with eight machines taking to the circuit.

Arron Persad swept to victory in all but one of the day's heats, with Josh Tumbridge the runner-up.

Last season's most improved rider, Termel Simons, snatched the final trophy place.

Although eight scooters were scheduled to take part in their category, by the time racing got underway only four made the starting line-ups with any degree of consistency.

Team Benelli's reigning champion, Mark Lightbourn, swapped race wins with newcomer Kyle Constable in the opening heats, but the latter suffered mechanical problems in heat four, allowing Lightbourn to triumph.

Ricky Periers held off scooter newcomer, David Jons to secure third. In the Stock/Modified category Neville Lathams' experience was enough to hold off the challenge of Danny Simons who had been absent for most of last year. Dennis Wilson took third.

The Formula category belonged to Raymond Wilson with Darren Dowling second.

There was a packed grid for the premier Grand Prix class and Justin Belboda saw off stiff competition to take the plaudits. Jasonne Smith finished runner-up.
