Brief report:

Labour weekend has come and gone...the entry for this years NI Champs was quite low at about 11 or so, unfortunately Murray S suffered a failed water pump at Hunterville on his way to the Bay from Marton, and was destined never to make it, with that no show and another withdrawal saw the demise of a couple of the Nitro events...
Regardless of the numbers there was still a lot of racing to get through in one day, so we started very early with drivers breif at 8am and first race underway by 8.30am !
We had the best weather that day I ever remember for a Labour Weekend event ! That allowed plenty of really fast close racing amoung all the events, with especial note in T1, with all so even it really is a fun event, most starts with all boats within a few metres of each other...
Interestingly, along with T1, Stock Gas Mono and Stock Gas Tunnel were the 3 best supported classes, and with low numbers in attendance thats saying some thing !
The day rolled on with much fun and banter, lunch was kindly taken care of by Ashs wife Megan, who again does such a terrific job for us in that department, her home made chocolate cake was sooo good !
Ash and Megan had set up camp at the lake Friday night in their caravan which allowed us to set up much of the venue Friday afternoon, so a massive thanks to you both, its that sort of effort and commitment that helps the BOP Club tick...
Karl M, a new member to the BOP club enjoyed his first event and did very well in Open Electric, and with his introduction now sees the BOP club with 3 firm exponents of fast electric craft, I am sure more will follow as time goes on...
We finished up the day around 4.30pm with everyone satisfied with a good days racing done and dusted...

Cheers, TUI.
