Frazer 9th at 30th Weston Beach Race

Turriff lad Frazer Norrie travelled the long road to Weston-Super-Mare at the weekend to compete in the 30th anniversary RHL beach race for the first time as an adult aboard his KTM 300.

Although Frazer has enjoyed a second and third place in the 85cc classes some years ago the 20 year old knew that this time it would be a different race altogether with a strong entry of 500 riders.

After much preparations Sunday afternoon came and the race began. As the first lap was completed Frazer came round in 11th place making his intensions clear. After a collision with another rider on lap three Frazer lost his seat and his air box cover, he pushed on without the seat for an hour until it was recovered to the pits by a very energetic pit crew Graham Barron and David Ramsay. Frazer had lost a few places during the hour but got back on the case with the seat re-fitted. After the 3 hours Frazer finished in 9th place behind 1st Jeffery Herlings 2nd Shaun Simpson 3rd Ken De Dycker 4th Nathan Watson 5th Brad Anderson 6th Ryan Staveley 7th Ben Watson 8th Tom Healey.

Frazer would like to thank his sponsors for their support, Dyce Carriers, Boyd Hydraulics, Craigston Tyres and Dennis Irvine Superbikes.
