AC Racing (Greg Allsop/Richard Charlton) won round two of the ACU/Towergate National 1000 championship at Cadwell Park to open up a 12 point lead in the series over T. Watson Bikes (Rick Dickinson/Tom Stephens) going into round three at Pembrey.

It was a good result for AC Racing, a brand new team for the 2015 series, who were fourth home in the opening round.

T. Watson Bikes were also delighted to be among the front runners, running the same lap as the winners at the chequered flag, because of an on-going ignition problem on Dickinson’s big Kawasaki that was only solved shortly before the race.

T. Watson Bikes could prove to be an even bigger threat to the opposition here at Pembrey, with Tom Stephens out on a brand new Kawasaki ZXR10R.

Another new team, Fast Past Pits, was second overall, maintaining their unbeaten run in the Towergate National 600 class.

With the team absent because both Matt and Harry Truelove are racing elsewhere, the opposition, headed by Team Army 2 (Wayne Morgan/Richard Spencer-Fleet), will be keen to close their 17 point advantage.

Sorrymate.com would love to make up ground. Third in the standings, 25 points down on the leaders, the team are struggling with injuries.

Colin Norris suffered a broken collarbone at the last round at Cadwell Park and team mate, Warren Verweh, is slowly recovering from a high-speed crash at Craner Curves, Donington Park that put him into hospital.

Norris is far from certain he will be fit enough for a three-hour race and even if he is, not sure he can find anyone to race with him?

An added exciting ingredient for the meeting is the debut Endurance appearance of the Parish brothers, Jim and Chris on their 600s.

First Clubman 1000 team over the line at Cadwell Park, was Tech 5 Racing (Nick Ford/Matt Stevens), taking their season’s tally to 45, four more than their closest rivals, Team Army 1 (Peter Brown/Laurence Williams).

Liquidskinz Hydrographic (Stuart Fitton/Martin Tromans) won the Towergate Clubman 600 class in round two to maintain their unbeaten record.

They are now 19 points ahead of Mild Hogs Racing (David Ball/Patrick Hurst).

Team Big Lads (Joe Connolly/Bob Barton) were first Modern Classics home in Lincolnshire.  That win keeps TBL top of the Modern Classic class, ten points in front of yet another new squad in the series, GRS Racing (Karl Smith/Glen Rixon).

Go Racing Developments (Andy Carpenter/James McBride) are hoping for a change of luck this weekend. At Brands they started from pit lane waiting to see if it was going to rain.

Then McBride collided with a slower rider at Druids, losing the team 19 laps. They battled on to finish ninth in the big class.
At Cadwell they were forced to use just one bike, when McBride’s machine had front fork problems.

A faulty petrol cap resulted in McBride being showered with fuel, costing them more time, finishing tenth overall.
For a pre-season favourite for the ACU/Towergate National title they hope it will be third time lucky at Pembrey.
Two more of the big teams who are aiming for that championship, will be out to bag a hat full of points in Wales. Seton Tuning (Mark Clark/Andy Goddard) are 27 points down on the leaders.

Team Edge RST 2 return to action with team owner Nick Edgeley and Jonny Towers who are 22 points adrift of top spot.

Top Clubmans 1000 Rookie team are G&M Racing (Robin Green/Mark McIndoe), on a maximum 50 points. Team Army 4 (Andrew Day/Leon Wilson) head the Clubman 600 Rookies. They are on 50 points, ten ahead of Grit Racing (Kate Mustill/Ian Jack).

With 100 points available to be won in every round and a rider’s top nine scores out of ten to count, the sprint class champions could well be on 600 points or more by the end of the year. That is why the early leaders have no cause to start celebrating yet.

Yorkshire man Lee Wilson leads the Moto Grand Powerbike 1000 points table after four clear cut wins at Cadwell, but he will be contesting the full series, leaving the path clear for Hottrax regulars to climb in the standings.

Michael Brown missed the last round because of business, but he is back hoping to bite into Wilson’s 19 point lead. Thomas Hallifax is third in the points table on 77.

A minor crash at Cadwell Park prevented Paul Barker from a clean sweep in the Moto Grande Pre National 1000 class, but he still leads James Ververs by 37. Craig Kennelly is up to third in the points’ table, 23 behind Barker.

Andrew Cockburn leads the Pro Moto class with a maximum score of 200. Jack Bleakley now tops the Motogrande Powersport 600 class on 132 points, 32 more than John Lea, who was making his first appearance of the year in the championship.

Paul Slade’s unbeaten run in the Motogrande Pre National 600 series came to an abrupt halt in the first race on Sunday. He crashed out, breaking his radius.

By then, though, he had stretched his run of victories to six, taking his points’ tally to 150.  Not enough to stop Matt Johnston, who had been trailing Slade by 38 points coming in to this meeting, take advantage of Slade’s fall by winning both races on the Sunday, to end the meeting on 152 points, two ahead of his rival.

Dave Wymer is firmly at the top of the V&M Motogrande Powersport Rookie 1000 class. He now has 195 points, 73 more than his closest rival, James Young.

Wymer, on an MSS Kawasaki, has been riding a lot in Spain with the likes of Steve Plater, Neil Hodgson and Andrew Pitt. Last year he sponsored Mason Law in the BSB 600 Stock Championship, becoming good friends with Andrew Pitt, who is Mason's mentor and manager, which is why he has 88 as his race number.

Taking world champion Pitt’s advice, Wymer is always thinking about the end game and not going for a win at all costs.

Mitch Ducran is the new leader in the V&M Motogrande Rookie 600 class on 127, but Kevin Cline trails him by only five points. Jack Harvey is third on 103.
 
Desmo Due Class A Championship leader, Dallas Hornblow, sat out one of the three races at Cadwell meeting, but still left the Lincolnshire circuit with a 14 point lead over Matt Lawson.
 
Scott Wilson leads Class B by 47 points, from Miles Watson-Cort.
Paul Baleta is now saving his money for the TT in June and he looks certain to lose the lead in the Modern Classics Superbike class. He is on 90, with Jason Edwards on 85 and Ian Pattinson with 82.

Joe Connolly tops the Modern Classic Superbike EVO class by a comfortable 73 points from his friend and Team Big Lads associate Bob Barton. Duncan Appleby is third, 79 points down.

Ben Gibbs, who did not race at Brands, now leads the Formula One championship on 70 points, twenty five more than Carl Dodwell and 30 ahead of Martin Morris.

Lincolnshire racer, Ross Walker, dominated the Formula Two class, at Cadwell, with four wins from four rides and that was enough to give the lead in the series. He has 100 points, 50 more than Jon McNally.

Jon Bolsover’s unbeaten run in the Modern Classics Supersport EVO class came to an end at Cadwell, but he still holds a commanding lead of 115 ahead of the absent Adam Shepherd.

With Warren Verweh injured, it means his 17-year-old son, Kade Verweh has no one to take him to Pembrey. He will be hoping to hang on to his 21 points lead in the Formula 400.

If Jonny Towers, part of the Team Edge RST 2 team, can get two bikes in his van, he will be out to stretch his lead in the Super Twin class.

Nick Wainwright rattled up four wins at Cadwell to take the lead in the Modern Classics Supersport Pre-I class. He leads Rob Garland by 65 points and David Stiff by 81.

Corey Wilson had a good weekend at Cadwell Park, to take charge in the Lightweight class. He has 120 points, 20 more than the absent Rob Garland.
