Josh Coppins - the NZ Supercross Open Champion for 2011
Saturday 15 January: Entering Round 4 at Timaru (south of Christchurch) Josh Coppins had only a 10 point lead over Justin McDonald in the Open Class.
It was a Man v Man format and in the points they both picked up a 1st and a 2nd in the first two races however the challenge did not eventuate with Justin having a 0 in the last race and Josh taking 20, so winning the Senior Open Championship by 30. points.
Obviously I was not there and confused as to how Justin scored a 0 when he was only half a second behind Josh ? It's also too late to ring anybody.
On the day for Round 4 it was Josh Coppins 57, Michael Pillips 45, Cody Cooper 43.
South Island Championship (Rnds 3&4): Josh Coppins 109, Justim McDonald 104, Michael Phillips 84.
NZ Open SuperX Championship: Josh Coppins 218, Justin McDonald 188, Cody Cooper 178.
