New Year Cup 1st January 2019

With no designated SOOD, Will S, Ian S and Frantz stepped up to the plate and ran the race.

There were 10 starters and six laps to go for the leaders, but obviously they did not know this when they started, or they might have reconsidered their decision to go.

First back through the line was Simon (Blaze) with Mike T (Laser) in 2^nd and Newton (Solo) in 3^rd place. Dean & Nick (Vago) were going well again and came through next with Mike C in 5^th place behind them. Nev (Comet) was 6th followed by Ron and Jules in their Mirrors just ahead of Chris H (Comet) and Alistair S (Laser).

At the end of the second lap there was no change in the order of the first four but Nev gained a place to move up to 5^th and there were no other movers.

The third lap was similar with the same four at the front, but now Chris had moved up to 5^th place and Alistair up to 6^th.

On the fourth lap no change with the first five, but Mike C regained 6^th place by passing Alistair and further back Ron had caught and passed Jules.

The only change in position on the 5^th lap was Jules repassing Ron! Mike C, Alistair, Nev, Jules and Ron all received the gun at the end of this lap.

The first five had to go round again, but yes, you’ve guessed it – no change in position!

he final order on the water was – 1^st Simon; 2^nd Mike T; 3^rd Newton; 4^th Dean & Nick; 5^th Chris; 6^th Mike C  

On corrected time Simon retains his 1^st place, but Chris moves up to 2^nd. Newton is still 3^rd with Mike T 4^th and Jules and Ron move up to 5^th and 6^th places.

Thanks to Frantz , Ian S and Will S for ensuring the race went ahead
