Thanks Justin, but I didn't make the trip up. Maybe the next good forecast.

No worries.

This forecast had been on the cards since last week so good to see it come true. I'd given a couple of competitors the heads up for sat/sun.

There is a cyclone starting to show up end of next week. Will follow that and see what happens. Early models are showing it being a coast hugger but still a long way off to book tickets.

Looks like a very successful year. I can't remember the last time we had speed results from every day of competition. Well done everyone!

Saturday was the free race but only Steve decided to do it. Dylan didn't put the final rankings on his page this year . I am sure that will added for next year.

Great thanks. I saw a few posts from Saturday on GPSTC and thought it must have all changed, as on Friday Vando was ranked first, then we hear people congratulating Byron on Saturday for his win. So from the couch not sure what happened, where are the final rankings to be found?
