Racing kicked off in the City Club Winter Series on an unusually warm day. Winds were exceptionally strong which made for plenty of gutter time. Alan Williams scored a win in the A grade while fastest women was Laura Thompson racing in C grade.
The fat trackie wasn't on good form in C grade and was fair swinging for most of the race. Didn't help when people were not using the whole lane and others were parking themselves 5-7 riders back and not rolling through.
A grade blew to pieces with a definite split between the guns the wannabes and the dreamers. 1:00.30hr for the win. B grade was 1.05hr and C grade 1.09hr. 43kph in those winds is fair hauling!
