Scumbags fly-tip tons of rubbish at motocross track https://www.motoheadmag.com/scumbags-fly-tip-tons-of-rubbish-at-motocross-track/ https://www.motoheadmag.com/scumbags-fly-tip-tons-of-rubbish-at-motocross-track/#respond Tue, 29 Jan 2019 12:28:19 +0000 http://www.motoheadmag.com/?p=17993 Imagine owning a motocross track, you open up in the morning and you find tons of rubbish dumped trackside?

That’s exactly what happened at Lyne Lane Total MX site in Chertsey, as reported on the SurreyLive website, Chairman of the RYMC, Russell Jarman, said that he is worried about potentially being left with a clean up bill.

Full gallery of how serious the issue is can be found here.

He said: “Our biggest concern is if the club will have to pay to remove it. We will not be able to do it. We’ve got a few running costs but nothing of the kind to subsidise any clean up.

“We won’t be able to open because there is so much there. It’s an industrial size fly tip.”

The environment agency and the Police are now investigating and if anyone has seen anything suspicious, please call 0800 807060, free and 24 hours, or contact Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

They were followed by Kalvin Kelly, McKenzie Marshall and Ryan Waggot in fourth, fifth and sixth positions.

Ross Simpson took the third spot on the podium and Arai Elcock, Tyla Hooley and Revo Husqvarna rider Ollie Colmer rounded out the top six.

The Big Wheel 85cc class went down to the wire to determine the overall standings for Alfie Jones, Hitachi KTM Asa Scaffolding Youth Team rider Ryan Mawhinney and Sam Atkinson with just a couple of points between each rider heading into the final moto of the day. The top six ended with Jones taking the victory, with Mawhinney and Atkinson in second and third. Charlie Heyman walked away with fourth spot at the end of the first round whilst Vinnie Guthrie and Sam took the fifth and sixth positions.

There were some good battles between James Mackrel, Dexter Douglas, David Galvin, Howard Wainwright and Oliver Benton concluded the top six at Preston.
