 UEM Pro Stock Bike
A smaller than usual field of bikes this opening round but it was led by Sweden’s Ulf Ögge with a great European record ET 7.161/183 well ahead on England’s Len Paget on a 7.367/177 and defending Champion Finland’s Fredrik Fredlund.
Ulf Ögge had the first round bye recording a 7.313/184 as the next pair of Fredrik Fredlund and England’s Martin Bishop ran with Bishop getting the lead but succumbing to a power loss well into the run losing with a 7.871/173 as Fredlund grasped the win on a 7.452/173 pass. An all Brit pairing next with Ray Debben upping his power with new bodywork after his tumble at the Springspeed Nationals a couple of weeks earlier but his 7.779/168 was not good enough as Len Paget put a 7.355/177 on the boards to take the nod.
Numbers one and two in last years championship point battle came together for the semi final, Fredrik Fredlund and Ulf Ögge with the latter chasing a better leave by Fredlund but it was Ögge who got the lights on first with a 7.285/179 as Fredlund’s 7.427/177 came second. Len Paget had this rounds bye run and got himself a place in the final with a 7.423/176.
Len Paget knew he was up against it facing Ulf Ögge for the money run and left a great light on the tree but his 7.452/173 from his White Lightning Suzuki GSXR was not quite good enough as Ulf Ögge on his Bike Line backed Buell ran him down winning with a 7.296/170. In that round the ignition plate failed after 6,03 sec, and one cylinder went off.
