MPBA ½ Hour National Multi Finals 7^th & 8^th September 2002

The first two photographs are the end of Saturday and the the late part of the afternoon turned our really nice.  The centre picture shows Steve and Mike with Mick the proprietor of the Lakeside cafe, obviously discussing breakfast.  The second last pictures show the serenity of the lake early Sunday morning.

As the weather picked up after a good few hours of very early morning rain, so did the competitors, rushing to get onto the water before racing began.

A birds eye view from the boat house looking back at the camping and Keith having to do his own rescue.  The last picture is of Dave getting ready for the days racing, unfortunately Dave managed to hit the recovery boat broad side putting an 10" x 6" hole in the side and disqualifying him from the race.

Steve Whenham cannot be out done either at an MPBA event or at an OMRA event and always strived for something spectacular.  I cannot wait for his next stunt....

This was however out of Steve's hands, his engine seized, how much is a CMB 15cc engine these days?
