Dougie Lampkin hung the star-studded opposition out to dry at the revamped British Experts Trial near Carlisle.

The Birmingham Motor Club event has been dormant for many years and did run under Yeadon-Guiseley club colours at Dob Park in the eighties but all that can be recollected is that it rained during the event and Robin Luscombe won the sidecar class.

It was a new ball game under Dirt Bike Trax organisation but the course was almost continental with dry, dusty conditions in the quarry venue.

The Silsden multi-champion arrived with one intention – to win, just like in the Scott Trial, and win he did.

World star Michael Brown trailed 21 marks down, with Cookridge’s James Dabill filling the podium.

That trio basically left the rest of the field for dead. Preston’s Shaun Morris, a challenger in Sunday’s Colin Appleyard ACU British Championship at Brimham Rocks, was an unbelievable 63 marks behind Lampkin.

The Brimham event incorporates the Yeadon-Guiseley-organised Mackenzie Trophy Trial in what is Lampkin’s only sortie into the British Trials Championship.
