🔥 WOW what a day! Our first Mini Enduro to celebrate Bathurst Weekend event went off with a bang! We had it all:

💥 Cold tyre Sprint race strategies
💥 Lap Records reset - Briggs Junior & Briggs Heavy
💥 Pit stop strategies - some worked to absolute perfection!
💥 Safety Kart periods with a real Safety Kart!
💥 Lots of laughs with the random pit stop challenge - there were some very interesting answers for the quiz and some superb art pieces drawn 🤣
💥 18x Briggs back on track with some great battles
💥First time running our new timing and message boards - what a game changer for our facility!
💥 15x Bucket bikes putting on a show
💥 Great weather!
💥 High energy racing

The list goes on!

Thank you to all those that entered and took part, this event was all about having a bit of fun and doing something a bit different. I think it’s fair to say we will be keeping this one on our calendar moving forward.

Thank you so much to our team of volunteers and awesome team of officials. Especially our kitchen and bar team, Sharon, Dianne, Izzy and Linda who navigated the hot temperatures and kept everyone fed and watered!

Congrats to our two new lap record holders with two blisteringly fast laps:

Will Finch - Briggs Junior - 45.186
Chris Harris - Briggs Heavy - 46.868

Enjoy The Great Race today.

All the best to our very own Arthur Broughan - Motorsport for today’s final race at the Bathurst event. You had the clubroom cheering you on in Race 2 - how good is a Top 10 at the Mountain! 🏁
