2010 Fluidzone Shark Island Challenge

[doclach]

've just finished talking to the contest director and after feedback from the riders, we are clear to extend the waiting period for the FSIC until Early August. No exact date has been set yet. within this period there is another set of lay-days which are Wednesday the 21st July to Monday 26th July inclusive, where again the comp won;t be run in this time.

This means the next block of contestable time is 13th to 20th July, then 27th July onwards (date TBA).
currently there's a Low Pressure system working its way across from WA which is worth keeping an eye on.
Bring on the pump!

Hi guys,

We will be making the call at first light being 6:30am for a cancellation.
First heat will be kicking off at 6:45am with WINGNUT, HARDY, LESTER AND SHOWELL in that heat.
The heats will be run at 30 mins.
We will be running first round up until 9:00am.
