REPORT 

 It was good to see the "King" of Heffron, Anthony Spurgeon, back again.  Michael "Big Bird" has moved up to the big league.  Here he is pictured alongside the "Prince" of Heffron, Robbie Cater.

 

  

Big Bird stretches his A grade fledgling wings and drives A Grade up the horrendous Heffron pimple.  If you are hurting them so much Big Bird, why is the King smiling?
   

The Prince also attacked on the pimple in an attempt to get away from the A grade bunch.  Here Robbie turns on the pace.
   

In the end it was the King yet again just doing enough to hold off Dave Stewart from Easts.  The Prince reckons he has 3rd in the bag but just having a quick look behind to make sure.
   

Mark Taylor, eventual 2nd place getter in B Grade takes the B grade bunch up the notorious pimple.
   

In fact there was loads of action on the pimple.

Andy Matthews, who is not pictured in the podium shot (left) can be seen in third wheel behind big Paul "Ginge" Baker who has moved up to C grade.

Ross McKay, former A grader, assured everyone that he was doing "No miles" then proceeded to rip everyone's legs off and place 3rd in the C grade race.  Good one Ross.

   

Some of the D grade bunch feel their legs screaming as they battle up the dreaded pimple.
 

 

Here's Ross in E grade action.  Notice that he is going so fast that his racing number is straining to keep up with the speed.
