Sorry for the very late race weekend review of The 2021 Rum City Classic. In view of difficult times for a lot of people at present, we thought that other priorities needed attention & besides being a very successful weekend for Team BAR it pales into insignificance with what’s happening in our country at present.
Firstly The Team & I would like to thank all of Bundaberg Powerboat Clubs Officials, Volunteers, Safety Crews, Members, Supporters & Sponsors for putting on yet another awesome weekend of racing & socialising when other people in Australia are doing it so tough with restrictions (believe me all of us at Bundy were thinking of you ALL)
We were lucky to come away with 5 wins from 5 races in Unlimited Outboard over the 2 days & in King of The River on Sunday we placed 2nd to Troy Marland in “Sick Puppy” in the biggest race of the weekend.
Well done to Troy & his Team on the big win & glad to say I lead for about 100 metres after the first turn, even though a 4 lap race! (as they say you can’t beat horsepower) Very proud to say we were both proud racers back at Sydney Outboard Club 30 odd years ago (Troy in juniors & myself in Seniors) & great to have had our 1st & hopefully not last race against each other.
Massive thanks to all my Team for their continued support , I couldn’t do it without you all & to our sponsors Quikshade, Yuasa (Battery World), Southern Plumbing Racing (Tasmania) & to the much appreciated boat/trailer storage legends. (you know who you are!)
Keep healthy & well All & see you back at the track soon!

Bundaberg Autobarn Christmas Powerboat Classic 5th December 2020

What can we say, but The Atkinson Family had another amazing weekend away with Family and Friends at the Bundaberg Autobarn Christmas Powerboat Classic.

We headed off on Friday night after Montana’s school presentation and arrived approximately 11.30pm where we climbed into bed for a big day of racing on Saturday. Brett is enjoying being back on the water in his F2 boat with the good old faithful fishing motor & Zac racing Michaella’s boat in the 850cc. Unfortunately, Michaella had a mishap loading her boat on the car on Thursday evening which she ended up at the ED with a broken thumb, a clean out and stitches. Lucky Zac has a loving sister and was able to race Michaella’s boat as his is still being repaired and Montana racing her 9.9hp in combined J1-J3 Juniors.

For the weekend after 3 races for each class, Brett came away with all 1st place’s in Outboard A & B as they were combined and unfortunately saw Kay Marshall out on Friday and then both Craig & David breaking down also on Saturday and not being able to return to the water. Brett took 1st overall in the unlimited outboard class. Zac came home with 2nd place for the weekend with some sensational driving. Montana with some close racing didn’t see her place this weekend…

A huge thank you to Zac and his mates for Crewing for Brett & Montana and Geoff for helping get Zac and keeping all the boats on and off the water. Also Zara for always cheering and supporting everyone. A massive thank you too Stuey who normally holds the team together, but couldn’t make it for this weekend due to work commitments.

We would like to just take this opportunity to say a BIG THANK YOU to our Sponsors- SPR Racing Todd Leary & Quikshade for their continued support & our new sponsors Battery World & Anglomoil. Without these sponsors we would not be able to get onto the water. We would also like to thank Bundaberg Powerboat Club to all the officials and volunteers & especially Extreme Marine QLD Jason Chiswell for their continued support in the Junior Class for the trophies as we would not be able to go racing without your dedication for the sport and for getting these meets in place.

Wrap up for the Yearly Point Score saw the Atkinson Family do quite well. We are so proud of all our children how much they have grown in racing, being more consistent each race meet saw them get faster and just out there having fun.

Brett in the unlimited outboard class took 1st Place
Michaella in the 850cc outboard class took 2nd place
Zac Atkinson in the 850cc outboard class unsure at present to be confirmed
Montana Atkinson took out 1st Place in Juniors & also received the 2020 Encouragement Award.

We are on the lookout for more sponsors to get on board for the 2021 season- Please contact us to discuss options.

2021 Dates are as follows:
Bundy Fun Day​​ 21st March 2021
Bundy Fun Day. ​​16th May 2021
Rum City Classic​ 24th & 25th July 2021

Christmas Classic​ 4th December 2021

Bring on the March 2021 meet. Merry Christmas to all our Boat racing Family & Friends and supporters. Stay safe and enjoy the break and we look forward to racing with you all in 2021.

What an awesome weekend away with Family and Friends at Bundaberg Powerboat Club. Brett was back on the water in his F2 boat, Montana racing in Juniors and Michaella and Zac racing in the 850cc. After 4 races for each class Brett came away with 1 -2nd and 3 - 1st and 1st overall in the unlimited outboard class. Montana with some close racing with the other Juniors took out 1st place. Zac came home with 3rd place despite not racing in the 4th heat due to broken power head studs and Michaella drove great all weekend and improving all the time in her new boat and finished just outside the placings. A huge thank you to Stu for Crewing and keeping all the boats on and off the water. Bring on December Christmas meet. Thank you to our Sponsors Quikshade Australia and SPR racing Todd Leary for their support always.
