This Sunday 29th April Round 2 of the G H Motorcycles/Husqvarna/ACU Eastern 2018 Enduro Championship takes place at Hawkendon Suffolk organised by the Bury St Edmunds Motor Cycle Club. The format for this event is again based on the Two Man Championship which was last year adjusted to suit Solos and was very successful. Sunday will be the day for the riders of the East to shine as there will not be any top British Championship competitors at this round. Looking at the Championship Class can Luke Parker make it two wins on the trot or will current Champion who likes riding at number 3 Jason Morland outride Parker. Look out for Will Hughes, Chris Hockey, Tom Braddock, Tim Rose, Craig and Rick Roper.
Will Jack Berry who was the best Eastern Centre rider at round 1 improve on his 10
th place finish although Glenn Walsh was just behind him. There is strong opposition from Alex Walton, Jack Grice, Ross Taylor, Tom Sargent and Ben Ramus. How will the newcomers to this Class George Eustace, Lee Monger and James Barker (if he avoids the trees) do?
Rob Aldridge back from injury took the Clubman Class by storm at round 1 can he do the same on Sunday? Ben Beadle is another rider to watch along with the Marsh twins Joe and Ben, Hunt brothers Paul and Dan, Luke Cain and George Wolfe. How will 16 year old Joe Phillips do, riding in his second Adult Solo event then there is Max Day also 16 and Jake Roper 15 riding in their first Adult event all have Team Dave Roper Race Shirts.
Michael Ridge will be out to make it two out of two in the Expert Veteran Class with Mark Chapman close on his heels although Paul Spurgeon might have something to say about that. What can Contest Sponsor Gavin Hockey do always seem to be the Best Man and never the Groom he put up the best Special Tests times but the fast-last lap lets him down.
The current Clubman Veteran Class Champion Dean Curry has a lot to do if he is going to retain his Title; he has strong opposition from Andy Peck, Jason Carsboult, Stephen Youngs and Jeff Turner. Gene Womack leads the Clubman Super Veteran Class, what will current Champion Andy Mason do lying in 4
th place can he turn it around. As always there is strong opposition from Clive Stevens, Graham Mays, Nigel Ross, Gary Drage, Jez Moss and Duncan Griffin.
