Racing update
It has been a disappointing year for racing with a number of events cancelled, including the Rudi Pendl Cup and Summit Masters, while the Wombat’s Rambler was moved a couple of times, which prevented some of our Club racers participating as expected.
We were well represented at the Kangaroo Hoppet by Angie Fearon, John Gallant, Louie and Andrew Bassingthwaighte on Saturday 15 August. Well done to these and all our racers for 2026.
