Report

The six races delayed from Monday due to the atrocious weather conditions finally got underway on Tuesday afternoon, with a total of four races being run concurrently under the banner of the Newcomers’ Race with classes A & B, along side the new event for 2009, Post Classics, again with two classes two-stroke and four-stroke.
With the forecast far from being encouraging with the possibility of showers all around the course around from around midday, the race had been cut from four to three laps.

The hotly anticipated dice between Ryan Farquhar and Guy Martin on the 997 Suzuki’s failed to materialise, due to the poor weather conditions, with Ryan leading from flag to flag, taking a three and a half minute advantage at the conclusion of the three laps, over the Lincolnshireman. Dave Madsen-Mygdal took the final podium place on his 750 Triumph. Only six finished and the podium placing collected replicas.

In the two-stroke division, Brian Mateer took a start to finish victory from Scot Ewan Hamilton by four minutes with Paul Coward third 44 seconds adrift. Nine finished and once again the first three collected replicas.
