Congratulations to Troy Marland for winning the 2014 UIM Unlimited Displacement World Championship (driving ‘Madness’) and the 2014 UIM 6.0 Litre Displacement World Championship (driving ‘Sick Puppy’), held at Taree, NSW this past weekend. Congratulations also to Rhys Coles for his win in the 2014 SST120 Global Challenge.
Let’s not forget to congratulate Qld Driver Alf Ebborn (driving ‘Airborne’) for a well-deserved 2nd placing in the 2014 UIM Unlimited Displacement World Championship!
Results as follows after only two races as the wind blew up and racing was cancelled for the day. Thanks to the Cole boys from Childers for coming down and a big welcome to another new inboard racer- Brad Poole.
Special thanks to those in rescue boats on the river in the wind- Jules and Neil Murray, Megan and Mark, and Andrew Leeson and those on top of the caravan in the wind trying to wave flags-Don and Riley. Glenn and Bec Fryer also kept the small crowd up to date with a commentary.
