Our South Aussie champ goes back to back

9th March 2010

Congratulations are in order for Trevor Stanley who remains the reigning Australian Champion after retaining the Errol Jay trophy yesterday. Continuing his winning form in Agent Orange, Stanley qualified in pole 1 ahead of main rival Chris Palmer in Outlaw. After a close hitout between the two Palmer unfortunately shattered the gearbox and Outlaw was unable to finish.

Final placings:

1. Agent Orange 2. Patriot 3. Rock Solid DNF: Outlaw

Terry Smith was also in Tasmania with Alcatraz and despite dominating his class encountered a fuel shortage problem at the start of one of his races. Looks like one of the crew members may be appointed a different task at the next major meeting.

Well done guys, you've all done us proud representing SA while abroad.

Stanley in box seat for title defense

7th March 2010

Trevor Stanley and his crew have been busy competing in Tasmania this weekend and reports are that the boat is back to its best. Clocked at 141MPH today in the last race, Stanley was leading but spun on a turn allowing his main rival Chris Palmer in Outlaw to overtake him and finish first.

After last weeks win in the Cock of the Mersey and the terminal speed shown today, Stanley is looking good for his Australian Title defense in the Errol Jay trophy to be run tomorrow. Stay tuned for more news on the event.

Third time's a charm in Cock of the Mersey

Shock horror as Proformance flips & crashes

24th January 2010

Dean Borg has been involved in a spectacular crash where his boat flew into the air about 2 storeys high, flipping in a clockwise direction and rolled when it hit the water again. Moments later Dean emerged from the submerged boat seemingly unharmed. Although I am unable to confirm exactly it appears that the boat threw a propeller blade at full noise when it hit some very rough water.

Our thoughts are with the Borg family who were watching when the incident occured on the back straight.
