Back on the 25th and 26th of July, the VMPRA travelled to the Bendigo club for our yearly visit to this town for a pylon race.

Results

Season Championship

F3D

With only three events left for this season’s championship, there were a few movements at the last event in Kahuna. In F3D, Anthony Thurgood and Andrew Davies remain in first and second place, respectively, but Brian still moved up one spot from fourth to third place, displacing Tom Weatherall back down to fourth

F3T

F3T saw some big changes. Jim Orenshaw remains in first place, but Andrew Davies has moved from fifth place up to second place. Anthony Thurgood’s moved from fourth place up to third place, pushing Brian Steele down to fourth and John Schmidli down to fifth.
Andrew Davies, Anthony Thurgood, and Brian Steele are all on 45 points, separated only by their average times over the last season. So it’s very close

Q500

For Q500, the top two places, Jim Ronchard and John Schmidli, remain the same, but Alan Whitburn has moved up from fourth place, displacing Eddie Richard down to fourth place.

Next Race Events:

Newbridge – Sep 19 – 20.

Let’s all get around this event and turn up in good numbers to support each other in this great facet of aeromodelling.

Report and photos  – John Schmidli.

Please note: We are seeking someone to regularly write event reports. Also, it would be wonderful to have someone photograph these events. This site has a vast readership and is important and valuable to pylon racing in Victoria, Australia and Worldwide.
