CLUB RACE DAY CANCELLED
The club race day scheduled for Saturday 18 August 2018 has regrettably been cancelled. Only one expression of interest was received. The cost of providing safety and other support services makes it impractical to put on a race day unless we have a prior commitment from an adequate number of boats to put together a race program. The next club day is scheduled for Saturday 3 November 2o18. Hopefully we can get a few more boats to commit to the day to make it worthwhile. We are looking for people with ski or race boats, old or new, to come along so we can put together a handicap program for the 70mph class. This class is more economical for APBA licence fees and is a good introduction to social...

read more25 NOVEMBER RACE DAY POSTPONED
Thank you to everyone who responded with their unavailability for Saturdays racing. Unfortunately the unavailable exceeded the available and we have, again, been forced to postpone the club race day to a date when racers are available to attend. This weekend we only had one big boat, two juniors and a couple of potential 70mph newbies who indicated they were interested in attending. Apologies to those who were planning on attending. However it is cost prohibitive to attempt to run a club race day without a firm commitment from racers that we will have enough competitors to make up a race field. The committee is inviting comment from boat owners and drivers as why they are unavailable to participate and what would encourage them to attend race dates at St. George. The next scheduled event at St. George is our Speedboat Spectacular on 24 and 25 February 2018....
