48 riders contested the 4th NCRA Handicap Race held on the 1.7 mile Rockingham Speedway National circuit. A strong showing from Rockingham Forest Wheelers resident racers; Brian Mosnak, Peter Kucak, Vic Davies, Chris Fowler, Pete Bradshaw and Daniel Leverton ensured the team had riders distributed among the CAT 3 and 4 groupings.
Dry, calm conditions proved for a fast event split by 5 handicapped intervals making it a hard effort for the chasing groups. With 5 laps to go the race, bow in two groups, remained split by 46 seconds. One final push in lap 3 equalised the race, a number of attacks from WCRT riders elongated the bunch before an eventual breakaway of the two riders taking a 1-2 victory.
All Rocko’s finished in the bunch with the highest placings coming from Pete Bradshaw (11th) and Daniel Leverton (13th) in the fastest event this season averaging 27.1mph.
