The stars of the fifth round EMRA championship races at Mallory were the medical staff and the marshals on a day that could be best described as challenging where constant changes in the weather made life difficult for riders. A massive oil spill at the hairpin on lap one of qualifying gave a clue that this might be a difficult day, but after the rest of qualifying passed off relatively calmly, race one began in sunshine, but by the time the riders had reached Edwina's the rain was lashing down, causing the race to be stopped, while the downpour affected the covering on the oil slick at the hairpin, resulting in an early lunch break and the prospect of running nineteen ten-lap races starting at 1pm.

Round four of the East Midland Racing Association championships saw Luke Stapleford set a new Mallory Park lap record at an EMRA meeting of 50.299 seconds, a speed of 99.48mph. This sets a target for his Buildbase Suzuki team mate Brad Ray in Sunday's fifth round race meeting, with the even bigger target of the magic 100mph lap. Brad has four chances of setting a new record - two Buildbase Mallory Trophy races, as well as two rides in the Tamworth Yamaha Allcomers championship. His opposition in all those races is headed by Buildbase championship leader Louis Dawson, who operated some kind of countdown system in the previous round in July when he finished fourth in his first race - the opening Allcomers race, third in the first Buildbase Trophy race, second in the Richard Jones Trophy race behind Phil Crowe, and finally got a win in the second of the Buildbase races . His main rival in the Buildbase trophy is former champion Lee Wilson, with Ryan Oliver third. Oliver heads the ... ...
