REPORT
|
|
|
 |
This week we welcomed members of the Sutherland club to
racing at Heffron. Left are the boys and girl, getting
together for a group shot after the afternoon's racing.
Probably the biggest contingent of them were in B grade and they
really tested the B graders with attack after attack. |
| |
|
|
 |
In spite of the high pace, the high wind, the constant
attacks by the Sutherland riders, it was Arthur Driver who
cruised in for final victory. We all got a lesson from a
great rider on the "Sunny Side" of 50, who gave all the young
blokes a bit of a kick in the pants. Actually it was Great
Britain first and second with Arthur first and John Peters,
President of the Sutherland club second. Left, the couple
of "Poms" celebrate their first and second placings. Great
ride by RBCC Under 15 rider Luke Davison for third place
especially given that he must have been really topped out in his
restricted gearing with the huge tail wind blowing right down
the finish straight allowing for some pretty big finishing
sprint speeds. |

I'm pretty glad that we put young Nick Rathbourne up to A
grade as he was tearing our legs off in B grade. I guess
some of the A graders are not as pleased. That's Nick left
out by a country mile taking the A grade sprint. Nick
apparently upset "The King" Anthony Spurgeon after Nick's team
mate, Craig Demsey led him out. "They worked me over", the
King was heard to say. |

Left, regular Dulwich Hill rider Al Sumner drives the D
grade bunch down the main straight. Bit of a fall in this
bunch saw several not finish however thankfully they are all ok
. |

|
|
 |
Ok E grade, enjoy it while you can. With Tony away,
the photographic duties fell on me. Left, it was
Randwick Botany first second and third with Matthew Hynes (left)
finishing first with Lee Emery second and further back Julia
Guinan is sprinting hard to take third place |
