The weekend was great with 13 boats attending. The A & B Graders

werebattling it out on a 2ft ground swell with glassy conditions

which made these surf battling boats into speed machines, The

engines were screaming to find that top end speed.Even though

the surf was small there was a mean sweep running north which

made starts very difficult. That boats had to be nose into the current

just so you could stand on the spot.

While holding the boats and watching the surfers ride waves through

 the arena at the same time was very frustrating and fatigue was

kicking in. The day was successful pumping out 14 racesand the

new stereo system pumping hard.

There were surprisingly 2 flips for the day. Im Too Toe from the

B graders did a spectacular cork screw off a wave side on, along the front straight. Sadly the second flipe goes to Fat Cat, going around a turn can and hitting a massive 1ft chop sending him over.

The out standing flip award goes to Adam and Tim from Im Too Toe Congratulations.

Darren the driver from RP Industries also known as "LOOSE" through

himself out of the boat turning around a turn can..... { HOLD ON DAZZA}

Boats that competed for the day were Crocker Builder, Ducks Nuts,

RP Industries, Im Too Toe, Fat Cat, Carrot Cat, Rampage, TTTC, Goodline Racing,

G E Paint, Blue 104, Neptune Boat and Impact.

Well done to all competitors racing and check QLD results for you points.
