Dirtbike-Action promote The Rock Oil TRC Trial this weekend 19/20 May Round 2 of the ACU/TRC Trucks supported British Trials championship. This year sees some major changes to the venues sections mainly brought about by the rule change to no stop. Section designer Graham Jarvis has had to get his thinking cap on to bring the best out of Westwood and its natural terrain. As usual he has put the time in and worked his magic creating new sections and revising some of last year’s which suit the new rules. Graham was a multi British Championship winner so he knows as well as anyone what is needed. After the surprises in the first round in Scotland, we will soon be able to see what Westwood can offer to the championship.
John Kerwin welcomes onboard as the main sponsor Rock Oil and he says thanks to Rob Sheldon the northern area distributor for all of the help. If you visited this trial last year you could not help but have been impressed with the presentation.
Westwood proved to be popular with the crowds last year with and is easily reached off the M1 at JNC 36 near Barnsley. All of the sections are no more that a 2 minute walk from the start and the whole course is less than 1.5 km . This year the organisers have improved the car parking for spectators. With trade stands, catering, and ample toilets come and see the action this weekend.
As with all of the BTC rounds in 2012 practise takes place on Saturday between 2.30 pm and 5.30pm with the trial starting Sunday with the Expert class at 9.30 am.
All the top riders from Round 1 are entered with James Dabill keen to get back to his winning ways after loosing out to Michael Brown and Gary Macdonald at the opening round. John Crinson was the winner in the Expert class and he will have a whole host of people chasing him down this time with Sherco’s Richard Timperley leading the way.
