MOTORSPORT: McAneney finishes in first place at Seaforde
Ballykelly's Michael McAneney finished first at the recent Ulster Quad Championships in Seaforde.
Despite a week of rain, preparations ensured that the track was in prime condition for racing.
During qualifying Michael quickly adapted to the track conditions to post the fastest time, ensuring first gate pick for the races ahead.
With the sun shining and all riders lined up for the first race, Michael got the holeshot at the front going around the first bend. He led from start to finish for the win.
“My quad was working a treat and handled perfectly all day."
In the second race Michael again got the holeshot and led all the way for a second win.
A poor start in race three saw McAneney in fourth spot, battling with the racers in front when the race was red flagged due to a crash.
That spelt the end of racing and Michael held the overall first position on the day.
“My quad was working a treat and handled perfectly all day,” he commented. “I would also like to thank all the team for making the results possible.”
