June 2 2008 Rockstar MX Nationals U19s.

The sand track at Wanneroo in Perth was the location for this 2nd round for the U19s. A good day was had by Moss institute riders Matt Ryan and Ross Beaton with Matt Ryan placing 2nd for the day  and Ross Beaton taking 4th
Matt Ryan had two great starts and then remained at the front of the pack all day. His opening moto second combined with a third in the final moto left him second overall for the round and now second in the championship, just 12 points from the lead.
"There aren’t too many sand tracks in my area, although I did plenty of driving around Victoria last week trying to find some. Things started slowly in qualifying where I posted the 15th fastest time, but I knew the track would be a lot different to how it was in qualifying. In both motos I got great starts and just put my head down and worked my way around the track with as few mistakes as possible. Finishing second is my best result at a national race and is a great reward for the work I have been doing during the week,"
 Ross Beaton posted 4 – 5 results to claim fourth on the day and move him from ninth up to sixth in the championship. Race two had Ross caught up in a first turn pile up and finished the first lap  in 18th place. From then on Ross pick off the riders and was going for 4th place when he passed the chequed flag .
