This was a great and thoroughly enjoyable event.
I'd venture that all participants had as good a time as Wayne, Cody and myself had, irrespective of their final placings.

Thanks to All who helped get the event up and running and to All who entered,..it Was a Lot of Fun and Great Racing.

Definitely Worthy of follow up events of a similar nature !!

Are there any pics? I completely forgot to take my camera along,..DOH!

Cheers and thanks to ALL once again.

Hi Stoo, yep, working through photo's, with hopefully more to come.
Thanks to Darryl for the photo's.

The race was a lot of fun and some new experiences for many.

The event was for hand out tyres and motor, so first up, get those motors fitted.

We started out with 2 pair of tyres, 1 @ 0.790" dia, and 1 @ 0.812".
It worked out pretty well that one pair was not enough to get through, but the 2 pair was saw us comfortably through to the end.

The hand-out motors were Parma Deathstars, and they all performed pretty well, and there was very little difference in performance down the straight, and there were no failures. Although I found 2 duds out of 14 when I was checking them out prior to the race.

The lighting systems used were varied with mixed success.

Overall, a fun day.

Many thanks to all who entered, and helped on the day.
