The Hunter Valley Land Sailing Club(Hunter Hawks) wishes to specially thank those who attended the 2010 Windfest Weekend Blokart Sailing Event, especially our visitors Russell W. from Vic, Danny H., Richard G. & Don M. from Sydney who helped make the event an enjoyable weekend of competitive Blokart racing and freindly socialising. Also, congratulations to the above visitors for taking home their fair share of the medals.

DAY 1.

With the track in great condition thanks to Paul, Brian, (and the team)... after Blokart scruiteineering (thanks to Chucky & Brad),Practice started from 1pm. Our visitors were able to experience strong westerly winds up to (25knots + +) on our purpose bulit track, with the more powerful gusts keeping saliors on their toes, and feulling some fast action laps all afternoon, ... great fun was had by all !

Friday night - Huge Camp Fire(many thanks to Paul for organising) to warm us from the bitterly cold westerly winds(and a few beers of course), complemented by sensational mouth watering wood-fired pizza creations cooked in a special portable Pizza oven by Baz,(even the kids even got in on the act) - many thanks Baz for feeding everyone a "trailer load" of wood fired Pizza ! - Very Yummo !

DAY 2.

Winds unfortunately had downgraded the next day, which saw pilots using their sailing skills, and 5m sails on a shortened course.

A total of x10 races were held, with one being dropped due to patchy wind.
Hunter Land Sailing's new " Tag Heuer " latest technology "mast-mounted" precise Transponder Timing System, didn't miss a beat(or a Blokart), proving to be very stable & reliable, and easy to use... even for the novice operator.
Score keeping updates provided by Jono L. who did a great job all weekend tallying & tracking the competitors progress - thanks Jono.

Saturday Night Formal meal - A very generous Chinese Seafood Banquet at Hexham Bowling Club's Riverside Restaurant.
