Jiglu: BLOKART-NZ: Discussion: Re: Australian Champs Round Up

Originally sent by: Clinton

Hi there Owen
The places where if a kiwi wins we counted back to the highest Australian points and awarded = champion. There is also an error in the Juniors.
Sam Grant won the Class
Andrew Toomath was 2nd
Daniel was 3rd
The class was awarded as follows;-
Sam and Andrew = Junior Champs
Daniel was Runner up champ.

Regards Clinton

Hi Clinton,
Thanks for posting your interpretation of the results in Ballarat. I am
having difficulty in reconciling your list with the actual points results
posted by Russell, which I understand to be from the computer timing system
printouts. In the categories where both NZ and AUS competitors raced, you
are indicating First Equal results where the actual points say otherwise.
Please explain how this can be correct.
Cheers, Owen.

Subject: [blokart] Australian Champs Round Up
Good morning everyone
The Australian Champs was a great weekend with some great racing and action
battled out on the runways of the Ballarat Airport between the classes and
Aussies v Kiwis. This being the first major event in Australia for Blokarts
and with what we have learned the sport in Australia has a great future and
will only grow.
The Ballarat Airport lived up to its name of always having wind and did not
let us down with, 15–20 knot winds being the average.
Friday and Sunday saw the 3.0 metre sails out of their bags, while Saturday
saw everyone using 4.0 metre sails.
Media coverage for the event was well supported with MX newspaper (1.1
million readers in Melbourne) and The Ballarat Courier all running news
stories, ABC Radio with 2 on air radio interviews and WINTV screening the
action on Tuesday night.
The timing system from Dorian Race Timing was working like a treat. The
difference from V8 supercars to Blokarts was not that much different once we
sorted out a few clichés in points. I also hear that Barry might be also
doing some timing in NZ for Blokart events.
The Melbourne Blokart Club would like to again thank all our sponsors.
Blokart International, Que 5 Pty Ltd, Ronstan, City of Ballarat, Dorian Race
Timing and Red Bull for their great prizes and support and all the
competitors that made the event great.
