2009 BMFA League 6

4 October 2009

Power launch

Tinkers delivers

Round 6 of the BMFA league took place at Cheesegate Nab (aka 'Tinkers'), near Huddersfield. In spite of the large entry and a 40-minute interruption due to rain, we managed to get through five rounds. Wind speed and direction stayed reasonably constant, although there was some short term variation due to thermal activity.

There were a few more prangs than usual, mainly at the bases. However there were no such problems for Simon Thornton, who continued his great form with his third league win out of four. Second place went to Kevin, while Rich Bago flew his Vikos to a fine third.

With thanks to Jon Edison for CD'ing and to the Huddersfield DMAC for an excellent day's racing.
