Thanks to the organisation of Laura Watson to get the women’s racing started for the 2026 season a match was held at Horspath today inviting girls all over the country to come and race round the Oxford based circuit. Ace Nyla who has started to make her mark on the women’s racing scene after finishing inside the top 10 at the U16’s girls world champs at the end of last season it’s great to see her holding her own out there again today to go on to score an impressive 13 points including a race win. Well done Nyla!
Next up was dad Lee in the vets event to see if he could live up to the example that Nyla had just laid out on the track for him
At the end of the heats Lee was entered into a three way run off. Drawing the favoured grid one, but home favourite Mark Boaler made it difficult heading into the first bend for Aris. While the two battled Dave Hemsley took advantage of the gap created by the tousling two to claim the win with Lee holding off Mark till the end to finish in second in the run off and overall. Great effort Lee congratulations for the silver
