DFDS Seaways Yamaha Past Masters – Records Smashed As Parbury Returns
Mark Parbury put in a rare appearance in the DFDS Seaways Yamaha Past Masters, riding the TZR250 his father used to race in the class, and promptly set about beating lap records.
Parbury set a pole time of 1:57.937, but bettered that still come race one, with a 1.57:155, a new YPM lap record. He took the win, and was followe across the line by Michael Russell and Jesse Jones. However, with Russell ineligible in the points, second was awarded to Jones, with Steve King third.
In race two Parbury took off into the distance again, and the battles ensued behind. But it all changed when the rain arrived midway through, with a number of riders dropping out after getting caught out in the changing conditions.
Jones crashed out, as did Clubman Cup series leader Doug Edmondson, as well as a host of mid-pack.
Parbury took the win, from King and Pat Herron.
