Race 6 of 29

Race Report  18 October 2014

Ah the joys of being a Queenzlanndeeer – Daylight saving and Double distance!!!  Enuff said.

Yes, Twinnies annual Double distance has been run, with a huge rollup, filling the front rack and spilling over on to the middle rack.  With near perfect weather conditions a great race was had by most with  a good hit out prior to Noosa in two weeks.

Rumour has it that there was a slight hiccup between a father and son team,  as one slowed/stopped for a car and the other more experienced and wiser somehow ran into the back of him and performed an aerial display going over the top of the handlebars, hope he is ok and more importantly his bike is not damaged- this has not been confirmed but was he drafting to keep up??? The matter is being investigated by the Judiciary, expect an outcome within the next 9 months.

Thanks again for the marshalls who were out on their points for the duration. There will be an opportunity for those that didn’t get their name down for marshalling to claim a spot on the Pink X’s. A sheet will be there on Saturday for you to write you name down. Remember, to qualify for Club Championships you need to have completed one marshalling point and a minimum of 12 races

Marshalls for 25 October
Fraser and Amaroo: Shelly Roy
Woodlands Drive RAB: Bella Pidcock
