The FASTLANE MCC promoted Moato Circus 2016 was the biggest and best yet . Fine weather and a carnival atmosphere made the weekend enjoyable and put the F ( Fun) factor back in spades . Held to raise funds for Wayne Garrett ( #33) , injured some 4 weeks ago, the event was overshadowed by the sad passing of DANO Sheridan ( 13) a youth rider following a freak accident last Thursday . Whatever the reason , the riders came , the spectators came and none seemed disappointed . The Long Cross on Saturday provided 3 races of 45/ 60 / 45 minutes and 30/ 30 for the youths and every class was full to bursting with the country’s fastest MX riders pitting themselves against the fastest Enduro riders . The MX won , with Richard Bird taking the honours . Full results report later .
The “ Oval cross “ , a tight 15 second lap with 2 obstacles had the large crowd on their toes for the entire qualification / final and what a final and excitement there was , the spoils finally going to Belfast’s Jordan Scott from Corks Aidan MC Donagh but only after a stall by Jim O’Neill and a hand stand over the final logs by Stuart Edmonds . It was anyone’s final to win and congratulations to the four riders for putting on such a good show . It worked .
Stuart made emends on Sunday by scooping both the MX and SUPERCROSS wins the latter again following an intense battle with Jim O’Neill who ultimately fell whilst leading and looking like a possible winner . Tight stuff again and what entertainment.
AS above , full results will be posted.
THE Fastlane club wish to thank anyone involved , all the riders , helpers , medical and particularly those who participated in the tribute to Dano . It was much appreciated by his Family . Congratulations to all winners.
Rider of the meeting ….. Aidan MC Donagh .
