Hi Folks

Below are the entries received so far, 16 and filling day by day. The entry form is available on http://www.nzmpba.co.nz if you don't yet have one.

We had a tune up club day on Sunday, with only about 4 of us having a run, and some have a little work to do yet. Being that we are heading to towards a big entry with little fiddle time on the day, better you have your boats ready to race come race day.

Regard Peter

Fantastic event on the river with just enough rough to make it interesting and still give the Cats a chance.

Bob Gutsell prevailed in the end, I have never seen Big Red go so well. See pictures on Home page

Yeah it was an awesome day, always a privilege to be involved in what has become one of New Zealand's most prestigious RC Powerboating events.

Kerry you're always welcome, it is really what the sport is all about.

Got home last night and cleaned everything up this morning and found the body of the stinger drive unit on Big Red was almost completely broken through. Sometimes you just get lucky!

Just love being a part of this motley crew, lots of free and sometime helpful advise mixed in with friendly banter and good camaraderie, and as mentioned above genuine help.

As to those who looted our silverware....well be back 😛
