From Future West

Another year for British Supercross series is once again done and dusted! The 2007/2008 Future West ACU British Supercross Championships wrapped up this past weekend at the amazing O2 Arena in London. An enthusiastic crowd cheered on the best of British Supercross for last event of the season. The talk of the weekend was the amazing new O2 Arena and hot Supercross action.

In the Pro Lights class, CAS Honda’s Mike Brown broke out to an early lead riding the Honda CR250f for the first time in Supercross this year, preparing for the start of the outdoor season this weekend at Hawkstone Park. Canadian Dixon Yamaha team-mates Colton Facciotti and Jean Sebastien Roy would enter the event separated by only three points.

Brown jumped out to the early lead and never looked back with JSR and Facciotti in tow. Facciotti only need to finish behind JSR to claim his second British Supercross Championship title of his career. JSR would give it his all, ending the Lights on Brown’s back tire. South Africa’s Neville Bradshaw rounded out the top three in the championship chase.

The Pro Open final was set for another CAS Honda Brown win. Brown, who looked comfortable on the 250f, would again get another great start leading the pack and started to pull out a sizeable lead before 19-year-old Kyle Beaton of Canada jumped in behind Brown and started to up the pace. At the half way point, back markers started to become an issue.

Beaton seized the opportunity and made the pass on veteran Brown. Once passed Brown, Beaton did not let up and claimed a sizeable victory over Brown for Yamaha UK and Dixon Racing. Brown would claim yet another British Supercross Championship title. Jean Sebastien Roy would take 5th in the pro open main and second overall in the championship whilst team-mate Facciotti would take third on the night and in the overall standings.
