Today, the ASM will be organising the first event of this New Year. This event will be the sixth event from the 15 races of the ASM-New Styles-Poiatti championships.

During the last event, only Silvio Sciberras on his Citroen AX No. 63 won all of the three pre-final heats. During the final A race, Emm. Muscat drove his Opel Corsa (60) to victory from start to finish. He was followed by Matthew Borg on a Nova but later in the laps, he lost his placing to Mario Scicluna and Karmel Zammit who were battling together for second and third place respectively while making it easier for Muscat to secure his lead. In the final laps, Zammit played an non-sporting move on Scicluna which forced the referee to expel Zammit from the race.

In the Autocross Class B final, Godwin Martin took the lead to the finish during the nine- lap race. Martin was closely followed by Josef Abela and Brian Azzopardi on his competitive Escort Mk1.

In the Bangers races, Tony Spiteri (90) won the three heats of the day. Dennis Vassallo (9) won the second highest points of the day and Philip Delia won third overall on his Escort 2 litre No.55.

The Motocross Riders have run a non-Championship event and all Class A and Class B riders started the race on the same starting gate. Yet, the final results were given separately for both Classes. Both the start and the track were a remarkable scene. One could see motorbikes in all parts of the track with 19 riders on the start and with a 12 minute race heats.

Because this event was organised to raise funds for the Community Chest Fund, the ASM committee also allocated a few minutes of Autocross/Motocross for Juniors. This Juniors Autocross and Motocross demonstration was held on this day, following training sessions by Autocross / Motocross aces and under strict rules and supervision. Many enjoyed these young lads on the AX / MX track to which, these young riders are very familiar too.

The last event held on 19 December 2010 also included a Car Demolition Derby. 27 cars made it to the start line which were divided into two (2) groups for a demonstration run. Then the Banging commenced as they were show the start flag. This Demolition which lasted an hour was won by Raffaello Gerald Bonello on a Mazda and Leo Butler on a Rover 2 Liter was Runner-up.

Next Demolition at the ASM Race Tracks is scheduled for the Easter season.

This Demolition which was run under strict new rules and regulations, pulled a larger crowd that usual and €2,018 are to be presented to the President Dr G Abela, on behalf of the Malta Community Chest Fund.

Today’s event number 6 in a row of 15 for the cars and eight races for the Motocross will start at noon.
