Huge congratulations to the sniper team. A sensational effort and no doubt a huge learning curve along the way. Was thinking, it's such a shame you don't do a small run of them considering the time, effort and $ you've put into the moulds.

Things are looking up, wind-wise. SE's for a week or so. (but also likely rain???). Hopefully we can get some good sloping at some stage. I'd like to organize some F3F. Starting to think it will never happen.

Ahh despondency, know it well. Just keep trying, it'll happen. You may end up with callouses on your forehead but it will happen. ;D ;D

I'm keen as ever, just hope the rain holds off long enough. I'm willing to bet Jarred is keen as mustard now he has the Pike...

Wadda youz guys reckon? Saturday looks the best bet to me. I could stretch things to come up tomorrow arvo, but if we make it Sat it would take the pressure off. Wind forecast looks pretty constant for a few days with perhaps strongest predicted middle of the night between Fri and Sat.
