2006 RESULTS AND REPORT
(By Allan Shillito)
The
MPBA National Fast Electric Model Boat Racing Championships were again run over
two days, providing time for renewing friendships and acquaintances, idle and
not so idle chit chat and of course some racing. It was also really good to see
a number of the racers partners, apprentices, and of course the audience. Two of
the Audience were there all weekend - good on you... and keep taking the pills
;) . The conditions were changeable from blazing sun and calm (ish) water to
bucketing rain (which went with the calm water). Despite these conditions the
racers were buoyed by the once again excellent food supplies from the
Bridlington Crew. The new pit shelter was a godsend and helped immensely when
the conditions deteriorated. Despite the weather racing was on time with only 3
late starts through the whole weekend and it was a definite joy to not have to
constantly chase racers up. Saturday night and the lake grounds became the venue
for the AGM. I expect our new Secretary (Simon Mitchell) will distribute the
minutes, recording many things but not least the rule and class changes for next
year, shortly.
Before leaving I have to mention the Bridlington Crew who again did a superb
job, mowing the attached campsite, getting the lake and docs ready, providing
counters, judges and calculators and last but not least a constant stream of hot
and cold drinks and well cooked staple food. Both my, and all the racers and
MPBA committee’s heartfelt thanks to you all.
To sum up, two hard fought but enjoyable days racing that gave the results
listed below.
