Spirited Action at AMCC Rnd 2

A beautiful Waikato spring day greeted competitors to Round Two of the Auckland Motorcycle Club Series at Hampton Downs on Sunday 18th October.


With the entire country back under Level-1 Covid 19 protocols, spectators were back to witness four rounds of spirited action; as the new class structure for this season again successfully offered healthy grids, and allowed four rounds of racing.

And those unable to attend had – as always – the opportunity to take in the coverage from long-time AMCC partner CTAS, with their proven and popular live-streaming and live-timing service.

In Senior, Jaden Hassan and Tarbon Walker command Formula Auckland and Supersport 600 respectively. Kawasaki mounted David Sharp is right there in the one-litre category, and there is plenty of additional interest across the category.

This includes Zak Fuller – taking the win in Race Four for the 600’s; and a healthy complement of Clubman entrants mixing it amongst the NZSBK and Club regulars. 

Lars Bojsen-Moller heads the Clubman group, aboard his Honda CBR1000RR.

Adam Unsworth & Bryce Rose joined the sidecar field for Round Two, and grabbed three quick wins; with Mark Halls and Geoff Davies taking out race four, and controlling the points lead on their very well-sorted 600 Kawasaki rig.

The 10th Season of Carl Cox Motorsport Cup competition again complements the AMCC schedule, and Jesse Stroud has carried on where he left off last season on the 400 Kawasaki – however Caleb Gilmour was a cat among the pigeons at Round Two; first to the line twice, and posing a stern challenge to the current Ninja champ.

On the Hyosung’s current champ Loren May has his work cut out also. Back in 4th in the points, it is Cameron Leslie and Ben Cook setting the pace – just 32 points between them with three rounds to go for this Series.

Intermediate has a diverse grid, with Jesse Stroud leading Supersport 300, but under pressure from Luca Durning and the very fast Caleb Gilmore. Superlite similarly, sees a tense battle between Aaron Dempsey and Fabiano Paiva Santos – just 12 points between the pair.

While in a healthy field of ProTwin 650, Jarad Horn and Jacob Stroud are engaged in an arm-wrestle at the top of the table – with a single non-points result for Stroud being the difference between them.  Vaughan Maine holding a handy third overall.

Cameron Leslie and Ben Cook are extending their Carl Cox Motorsport Cup rivalry across to Junior – where in Prolite 250 they are keeping experienced heads Loren May and Scott Findlay at arms-length. The additional track time afforded by cross-entry delivering demonstrable benefit across a range of competitors.

Round Three will conclude the AMCC Club Series at Hampton Downs on Sunday 29th November, while the Carl Cox Motorsport Cup competition will continue with two additional events in the New Year.
