The Booming Brisbane Thundercat Club is making a big splash in the water with 13 teams

attending the first round of the QLD State Titles. Eight of the boats challenged for the top 

points of the first round of Qld titles, and 5 new teams racing for the first time in the B grade

event.

The weather was very demanding, as there was a strong S/E wind with a 2-2.5m swell rolling

inn. You could almost hear the heart rate of the pilots and co - pilots as they looked into what

 would become there play ground of adventure! the surf was sure showing its strength! The 

dark clouds moved in quite quickly with the wind with a few small showers sending the score girls

head for cover. 

The day began with some warm up laps, once the racers had a feel of the surf they were ready

 to roar!  Ducks Nuts was the first boat to stop a race as Sam{co-pilot} showed amazing grace

with his superman fall out of the boat- proving how strong the surf was!

A handful of pilots pushed the limits and flipped their boats, these classic moments were

condenders for the Outstanding Flip Award- A grade boats that flipped were Goodline Racing and

Fat Cat. B Grade- Pie Wagon & I'm too Toe cork screw flip off a wave.

Overall it was a fantastic day of extreme fun, friendship some great racing, the Qld title was a

great learning experience for the new comers to the club, as well as the highly experienced boys.

An unfortunate accident accured in a B grade race where 2 boats, Im Too Toe and Macleods Daughters

were heading along the front straight, Im too toe ran out of water and ran agound,

Macleods Daughters went straight into the back of Im Too Toe. The co-pilot went flying out of

the boat and landed beside the driver in front. Fortunately no injuries occured, Unfortuantely we

cant say the same about the boat, Macleods Daughters left hull was slightly deflated.

Round 1 race results were 1st Tony Total Tree Care, 2nd Fat Cat, 3rd Ducks Nuts, 4th Scardy Cats,

5th G & E Paint, 6th Goodline Racing and 7th to JP Industries. Congratulations to all crews

competing for the day.

lap and also flipping his boat going back to the boat ramp after a day of racing.... Congratulations...
