Amped EMX Sparks British Masters Hits Halfway Point with Action-Packed Round 3 at Monster Valley

The EMX Sparks Amped Bikes British Masters reached the halfway point of the series with Round 3 at Monster Valley, based at the Monster Mountain venue in Wales. With the scenic valley views matching the quality of racing, the weekend delivered brilliant battles across the Junior Track and Main Track, with riders putting on a fantastic show from the youngest E Drive balance bike classes through to the 85cc groups.

On the Junior Track, Chester Crump was dominant in the 12” E Drive Balance Bike class, taking five wins from five and maximum points. Ruben Lee secured second overall, with Maisie White completing the podium by just one point after a close battle with Jettson Chessell.

The 16” 250W E Drive Balance Bike class produced a superb battle between Noah Dark and Poppy Meredith, with Noah taking the overall win by just three points. Henry Waterman completed the podium in third after another consistent weekend.

In E1, Freddie Fenwick took maximum points and enjoyed mixing it with the 16” riders throughout the weekend.

In the 16” 400W class, Tommy White claimed the overall victory by just three points from Jimmy Smith, while Boycie Clements secured third despite bike issues.

Harry Meredith was unstoppable in the 18” E Bike Balance Bike class, taking maximum points with five wins. Seb Carr finished second, with Joey Jones completing the podium.

In the 20” E Drive Balance Bike class, Rupert Foden took the overall win, with Cian Bradshaw second and Emy Gardner third after a close battle with Freya Waterman.

In E4, Boycie Clements took four wins from five to claim the overall, while George Fenwick took second on countback from Freddie Holmes after both riders finished level on points.

Marley Jobson was super fast in E3 and took the overall win by 12 points. Blake Thomas finished second after a consistent weekend, while Jimmy Smith claimed third. Cameron Raynes also showed strong pace and took a race win, but one difficult race cost him a podium spot.

The E5 class was stacked with talent, but Colby Fletcher was in outstanding form, taking maximum points and entertaining the crowd with his style around the track. Harry Perkins grabbed second overall by just one point from Tommy Bridges, with Theo Hancock close behind in fourth.

In E9, William Ahern dominated the weekend, although Poppy Randall and Poppy Birkett kept the pressure on throughout. Randall took second by just two points from Birkett, with Elsie Holmes finishing fourth. A special mention also goes to Jemmima Tooley, who was unable to compete after feeling unwell. Everyone at EMX Sparks wishes her a speedy recovery.

The Small Wheel Auto 50cc class was incredibly close at the front, with Arthur Rogers taking the overall win by just one point from championship leader Amiyah Haughton. Jacob Perkins completed the podium after a strong weekend.

In the Big Wheel Auto 50cc class, birthday boy Charlie Needs celebrated turning eight in perfect style, taking maximum points with a fast and stylish performance. Tommy O’Callaghan finished second, with Archie Gill taking the final podium spot.

Neveah Rivers rode brilliantly in E6 to take the overall win ahead of Teddy Franklin.

The 65cc class was stacked and once again delivered some fantastic racing. Noah Brown took the overall win, with Fletcher Hicks second after taking a race win of his own. Ellis Owen completed the podium, with the top three clear of the chasing pack.

Myles Boucher was in impressive form in E8, taking a maximum score of race wins. Frank Wallis finished second, with Ted Tooley completing the podium just two points ahead of Joe Robinson.

In Small Wheel 85cc, Dewi Sheppard took the overall win by four points from Jexten Taylor, with Rowan Randell completing the podium. Kai Rudy finished fourth, while Cadi Bradshaw took fifth on countback from Broc Taylor after both riders finished level on points.

The Big Wheel 85cc class saw Ruddie Jones take the overall win with fast and consistent racing. Jesse James finished second, while Travis Taylor completed the podium.

Round 3 brings the Welsh leg of the championship to a close for now after three fantastic rounds at Monster Mountain and Monster Valley.

Affiliation Terms

NORA affiliation is conditional upon compliance with NORA Rules and Regulations throughout the affiliation year, running from 1 January to 31 December.
The organisation/club is responsible for its own supplementary regulations, health and safety documentation and operational procedures. NORA affiliation, or the issuing of an RTA permit, does not mean NORA has checked, approved or accepted responsibility for those documents.
NORA reserves the right to suspend or revoke affiliation, licences and permits where an organisation fails to comply with NORA requirements or where serious concerns are identified.

1. Annual Affiliation and Compliance

Affiliation with NORA 92 Limited trading as NORA Motorsport (“NORA”) is granted on an annual basis, commencing on 1 January and expiring on 31 December of the relevant calendar year, unless suspended or terminated earlier.
Affiliation is not automatically renewed. Each organisation/club must complete the annual affiliation process and receive confirmation of acceptance from NORA.
By applying for and accepting affiliation, the organisation/club agrees to comply with all applicable NORA Rules and Regulations, policies, procedures, safety requirements and permit conditions throughout the affiliation period.
The organisation/club acknowledges that continued affiliation, the issuing of Road Traffic Act (RTA) exemption permits and access to NORA licensing and insurance arrangements are conditional upon ongoing compliance with these requirements.

2. Organisation/Club Responsibilities

The organisation/club accepts full responsibility for the planning, organisation, management and safe operation of all activities and events conducted under its authority.
This includes ensuring that appropriate documentation, procedures and safety measures are established, maintained, implemented and enforced.
In particular, but not limited to, the organisation/club is responsible for:
Preparing, maintaining and implementing its own supplementary regulations, ensuring they comply with applicable NORA Rules and Regulations.
Preparing and maintaining appropriate health and safety documentation, including risk assessments, method statements, emergency procedures and event safety plans.
Ensuring all documentation complies with applicable legislation, regulatory requirements and NORA Rules and Regulations.
Ensuring all officials, employees, volunteers, contractors and other persons acting on behalf of the organisation/club are aware of and comply with the relevant regulations and procedures.
Ensuring that appropriate safety measures are implemented and maintained throughout each event or activity.
Ensuring that circuit certificates are in place, valid and adhered to where applicable.
The organisation/club acknowledges that responsibility for the adequacy, accuracy, legality, implementation and enforcement of its own supplementary regulations, health and safety documentation and internal procedures rests with the organisation/club.

3. NORA’s Role and Limitation of Responsibility

NORA provides the regulatory framework under which affiliated organisations/clubs may organise and conduct approved motorsport activities.
Affiliation with NORA, or the issuing of an RTA permit, does not constitute confirmation, certification or approval by NORA that an organisation/club’s supplementary regulations, health and safety documentation, risk assessments or internal operating procedures are adequate, compliant or suitable for their intended purpose.
Unless expressly confirmed in writing, NORA does not undertake responsibility for preparing, reviewing, verifying or approving an organisation/club’s internal documentation.
NORA shall not be responsible for any failure by an affiliated organisation/club to prepare, maintain, implement or comply with its own supplementary regulations, health and safety documentation or internal procedures.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, NORA shall not be liable for losses, claims, damages or consequences arising from such failures by the organisation/club.
The organisation/club acknowledges that NORA affiliation does not transfer responsibility for the safe and compliant organisation of events from the organisation/club to NORA.
Nothing in this Agreement excludes or restricts any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

 

4. Road Traffic Act (RTA) Exemption Permits

RTA permits issued through NORA are granted strictly on the understanding that the organisation/club and the relevant event will comply with all applicable NORA Rules and Regulations, permit conditions and regulatory requirements.
The issuing of an RTA permit is conditional upon compliance with NORA’s regulatory framework and does not relieve the organisation/club of its responsibilities under applicable legislation or its own supplementary regulations and safety procedures.
An RTA permit must not be interpreted as confirmation that NORA has independently inspected, verified or approved all aspects of an event or the organisation/club’s internal documentation.
Where NORA becomes aware of, or has reasonable grounds to suspect, non-compliance with its Rules and Regulations, permit conditions or relevant safety requirements, NORA reserves the right to:
Refuse to issue an RTA permit.
Suspend or withdraw an RTA permit already issued, subject to applicable legal requirements.
Require corrective action or additional documentation before permitting further activities.
Suspend or terminate the organisation/club’s affiliation.
Suspend or revoke any NORA-issued licence or authorisation, subject to the applicable licensing rules and procedures.
NORA may take immediate action where it reasonably considers this necessary.

5. Non-Compliance and Withdrawal of Affiliation

Compliance with NORA Rules and Regulations is a fundamental condition of affiliation.
Where an organisation/club fails to comply with these requirements, or fails to maintain and implement appropriate supplementary regulations, health and safety documentation or operational procedures, NORA reserves the right to investigate and take appropriate action.
Such action may include suspension or termination of affiliation, refusal or withdrawal of RTA permits, and suspension or revocation of NORA-issued licences or authorisations.
NORA may request evidence of compliance, including copies of supplementary regulations, risk assessments, health and safety documentation and other relevant records.
Failure to provide satisfactory evidence of compliance may result in the suspension or withdrawal of affiliation, permits or applicable licences.
Where reasonably practicable, the organisation/club will be given an opportunity to respond to identified concerns. However, NORA reserves the right to take immediate interim action where necessary for safety or regulatory reasons.
