Thanks Andy, and Paul.

Yes Paul technically you could sail a mini-class around the track - you would need to be insured as this is private land.

Perhaps you should join the NSW BK Club ??

... Very Cool avatar by the way.

It would be great to get WA involved in State of Origin series. You guys are really going off over there.

It depends however .. how many WA citizens/sailors would be prepared to travel to NSW north coast and represent their home state in a battle later this year ?

Being a collective score competition, its best if the representing teams are fairly evenly numbered, but then again, if you keep winning every race Paul, WA club could just post you over.( large or small box ? bubblewrap ?, don't forget to punch holes in the box so you can breath )

I'm in

Just on the insurance bit - if I choose (hypothetically of course) to sail at SOO with one club and then Nats with another club do I need to be a member of both?

Hi Bazl,

I can't comment on behalf of the Nationals, but to sail at SOO you must be insured (the cheapest way is to join one of the 5x blokart clubs currently in Oz.)

NSW BK Club membership is $30 single per annum, or $60 for the whole family per annum. I'm sure the other clubs are similar.

Is there any serious interest from Perth Club in sending over a team for SOO ?
Let me know if there is, and how many would be intereted ?

Cheers

Today (28th June 2009) Hunter Hawks held the "Hunter Enduro 09" at the new purpose built race track "Blokart Bay".

Hunter Hawks v Sydney Squadron. 13 Blokarts in total, (7 from Newcastle and
5 from Sydney + 1 x from Gold Coast, racing for Sydney)

Whilst the weather was great(no rain), Wind was patchy, and those without a
5m sail were disadvantage in these conditions.

A big thank-you to fellow Hawks Paul A. & Brian W. for a huge effort behind the scenes, and making the event possible.

Many thanks to volunteers Carolyn H, Venessa G & Corinn L for their great
score keeping.

Thanks to Simon & Leanne from.. " www.webbvideo.com.au " & Bruce S. for Video coverage throughout the day.

Hunter Enduro Racing comprised of 4x 10 lap races, and 3x kids races...
Big Congratulations to the following:

Hunter Enduro winners...

1st Place ~ Johno L. (Hunter Hawks)
2nd Place ~ Danny H. (Sydney Squadron)
3td Place ~ Steve Y. (Hunter Hawks)

-------------------------------

Kids Races:

1st Place ~ Perry H. (Sydney Squadron)
2nd Place ~ Myles W. (Hunter Hawks)
3td Place ~ Jarad S. (Hunter Hawks)


Congratulations to the Hunter Hawks on winning overall team point score.

Special thanks for those from Sydney(& Gold Coast) for making the effort &
travelling to the event - and to all from the NSW Blokart Club that attended and made it a great competition & a great Family Sailing Day !

Cheers
John S.
