The
6th and final H&H race of the season was at Elgin Endurance Club up at Elgin at Birkenhill.
Great track using part of the BEC route plus a 2 km MX test
in the field to get you flying.

The final round
of the 2017 SACU H&H Championship was run at Birkenhill near
Elgin. Using part of the course from the BEC Enduro and a
massive field there was a lot of riding to be done before
the results were announced. Several riders were set an
additional challenge with Andrew Bisset being made to start
from the back of the pack and rapidly overhauling the entire
field to claim the top spot. Fergus Lamb was on form
until mechanical problems forced him to retire . Alan
Davidson back from the ISDE decided to compete on John
Littles 1971 Silver tank Husqvarna. With little suspension (
a big soft saddle helps) and a narrow powerband and a few
loose wires (in the bike as well as the rider) Alan
surprised many by finishing on 6 laps and being so happy he
also did a "Victory Lap" after the flag.
The Experts was
won by Andrew Bisset with Ben Thomson in 2nd and Dean Reid
in 3rd
Derek Little
made an all too rare appearance to take the win i Over
40's ahead of Ian Bisset who had pushed hard all year and
claimed 2nd spot in the Championship. David Vass finished in
3rd
In the Clubman
Class James Barrack took the win ahead of Scott Owens and
Kenny Thomson
Andrew Currie
won the Clubman B class and took the Championship as well
with Gareth Jamieson in 2nd and also 2nd in the
Championship. Danny Sutherland finished the podium places in
3rd
There was a low
turnout in the new Over 50 class but the riders pushed hard
all day with Lindsay Barrie finishing 1st with Alan Copland
in 2nd and evergreen Ian Little in 3rd
Angus Bruce
finished the race in 1st and also claimed the Championship -
the youngest rider to win a class at only 15 and also being
too young to ride in the first race . A family tradition
with his father Keith winning the Clubman Championship in
1982 then the Experts in 1985. And his 8 laps being
good enough for a podium in most classes at the event
Stephen Durrand
pushed him hard all day with Mike Glass finishing in 3rd.
A great event by
Barry and Kev and all the team. Thanks to John and Eillen
Little for the lap scoring .
The 1st round of
the 2018 Championship is in 2 weeks on 5th November at
Lauder.
