Davey
takes inaugural Women's Dirt Track Championships
Last weekend (4th and 5th
August) saw in excess of 100 riders converge on the Woodstock
Circuit in Townsville for the 2007 Queensland Junior and
Senior Dirt Track Championships.
This year saw the introduction of
a Senior Women’s
Championship class with $300 prize money up for grabs. The
class consisted of Queensland’s fastest Dirt Track
women riders including Megan Doyle, Melissa Emmi, Samantha
Van Eerde, Phoebe Grajczonek, Ashleigh Davey and Melissa
Ashford.
Racing was hotly contested over the
entire weekend with all the women having tight tussles
for the lead through the tight, fast S-bends at the Townsville
track. There was
no room for error as the women swapped leads constantly over
the weekend, each one staking their claim for the new Title.
At the completion of racing on the
Saturday, Ashleigh Davey (Rising Sun Honda) was leading
the class by 15 points from the remainder of the field
who were separated by only a few points.
Sunday started with Ashleigh having
it all her own way in the first race with a hole shot on
the freshly watered track and holding the lead for the
entire race comfortably.
In the second race Megan Doyle took
the all-important hole shot. The race was the most exciting
of the championships with the girls swapping the lead 6
times throughout the race. In the end it was Davey who
slipped through the slightest gap showing how determined
she was to secure the championship. Doyle took second place,
with Phoebe Grajczonek charging through the pack in the
second race to take the third spot.
The last race began with a straight-line speed race between
all the women as each got a flying start. It was Davey however
who made the decision to brake the latest and in so doing
gaining a slight advantage going into the first tight turn,
she never looked headed from this point taking her third
win of the weekend.
“I have had such a fantastic time at the Championships.
It feels great to say I’m the first ever Women’s
Queensland Dirt Track Champion. I can’t speak highly
enough of my fellow female racers this weekend, I certainly
had to work for my win' said Davey after taking the victory.
"My motocross background definitely gave me an advantage
with the right hand turns and also when the track got rough".
"Thanks must also go to the Townsville club for their
organisation and hard work put into the event" she finished.
Davey also thanked her sponsors -
Rising Sun Honda, No Fear Racewear, Dragon, DirtGirl Clothing,
Motul Oils and RK Chains.”
Many of the girls have also been competing
in their own class at the North Queensland Dirt Track Series
Championships. With one round to go in the Series its Honda’s
Ashleigh Davey leading from Megan Doyle (Yamaha) and another
Honda rider, Melissa Emmi in third.
