Thinking of our friend Tate, his family and the whole Lay It On crew after his accident yesterday. He’s in good hands and praying for a speedy recovery.

Being on the water with him, watching the rescue crews and people on the ramp help him in extremely difficult circumstances, shows the community boat racing has.

❤️❤️❤️

Race 1 on Saturday of the 6litre National Drivers Championship. Starting out of pole 3, with some of the best 6 litre boats in the country. Was running 3rd until Rootas missed a turn buoy which put us into 2nd place which is where we ended up.

Day1 wrap at Dargle for Rnd2 of the Kavanagh Auto Parts NDC.

Today threw us a few curveballs but we managed to keep the little blue rocket trucking along. Some electrical issues and hydraulic cav issues. We’ve not long finished putting the boat back together and fingers crossed it’s all happy.

We think we’re an ‘unofficial’ 3rd in quali, which will put us in a decent heat draw tomorrow.

Video is of our Quali lap.

Thanks to the legends that helped us out today ‘Rhys Coles Racing’ and Ces Pride for lending us a few tools tonight.

It’s alive.

The boats all together and we’ve ran it up on the trailer. Did a few checks and we’re happy to take it to Dargle for the next round of the NDC.

A little video of inside the cockpit to show you guys what’s in there and some of the info we get our of the Dash, there is a second page that shows fuel pressure and lambdas but the main page is the one in the vid.
