Race Date Update
Sun 5 February 2012 (Round 5)
Sat 18 February 2012 (Round 6)
Starts around 2pm (and is dependant on wind) with a buffer week on Sat 3 March 2012 if there is no wind on any of these days
Latest results and rankings, finals are on the 18th wind permitting.
All the places are up for grabs or can change, pressure is on Richie and all those aiming at him, but same goes for second and third!
Guys, with a really crap forecast I've had to make the decision to postpone to the following weekend.
I'll make another post about next weekend as the date aproaches.
It's a shame you guys didn't make it out. We had 9 fantastic formula races this weekend.
This was our last Sydney race for this season, but perhaps we can look at some combined events next season.
Forecast looking good for sat green NE arrows and sun.
Is it on
If we're still gonna do the pizza beer thing afterwards, i've had a word with pizza shop down on grand parade and he's happy to deliver pizza up to the beach carpark for us. Who's taking care of da beer!
It's on for sure!! We'll be taking care of cold beer and we'll arrange the pizza thing tomorrow on the beach with our contact I think It's going to be a good one!

Racing is definitely on. I've been away on a business trip but Eve, Peace and Matt tell me everything is handled.
The brown haired person masquerading as Marine needs to bring her passport in order to enter today.
Beers are handled, pizza is easy, and AFAIK all the prizes are handled too, including a new surprise category (last place today).
Awesome day, Thanks to all the participants and all the volunteers that made this an epic race day and final for the series.
Ample Little creatures beers, awesome Pizza from Jailhouse rock Pizza at Brighton Le sands, and very good company.
