Winning start


FHATBURN QUAD bike racer Keith Knowles has started his challenge in the


Scottish Championships in line form. Computing at Kinross in Scotland, the talented


rider claimed two first places out of three races. However, his challenge started with a mishap,


when he burnt the clutch out on his 2f>()cc Suzuki while? waiting to start the first race. The trouble started when the five second board


was raised and Knowles slipped the bike into gear and held it on the clutch, ready Tor a quick start. However, the organisers then dropped the board


to allow some late starters to join the grid and by tin* time the race started, Knowles had burnt out


his clutch. I'ndetorred, his team replaced the parts and


Knowles hit top form in the final two races, taking first place in both. 'The races were held on a dusty and rough track, which was covered with a layer of hailstones,


adding to the difficulty. Witli around l>0 bikes taking part, Knowles was


pleased with his performance, which should have left him cha l len g in g in the top f ive of the championship. 'This weekend he takes part in two events, at


Basingstoke on Master Sunday and at Frome, on Faster Monday.
