There we go 13 entries in all, not a bad turnout for the Rotorua event.

Seeyas all there, any additional arms and legs for helping with lap counting and rescue boat would be very much appreciated.

Crikey you guys are quick! Thanks for all the thanks it means alot. Some people organise these events because they like organising things, fo me, I do it because I just want to race, and if I didn't do my bit then there just might not be any racing. That will change hopefully as more people get involved, the more people that can get involved the less burden there is for those involved in organising and running events and the more events that can be run for longer.

But anyway, congratulations to the wee man Terry Riddiford and Ballistic for taking out the Rotorua 100 yesterday. Me and Big Red worked hard for second place after replacing just about everything in the boat; except fuel bags, reciever and throttle servo being the only original equipment) over the last week. Steve Trott just made it into 3rd place after dropping an engine bearing in the last couple of minutes of the final. More in the next Propshaft, photos coming soon.
