Nationals 2000 Results

This years South African Championships that took place over the Easter weekend really had a lot of tight challenges in the C class category making a split decision in the final qualification. It was great racing and also well controlled. The program that was used really worked well giving everyone time to prepare, race and even relax. . The Riebeeck lake venue was a fantastic venue but we all experience lots of dirt in the water which made this Nationals very expensive for many boaters as they ended up breaking props, motors and boats. Unfortunately this cannot be afforded again.

Some of the Formla 1 drivers preparing their boats. They will need plenty of nitro if they want to acheive something at the Worlds this year!

The Nationals taking its toll on the boaters as dirty water created havoc for many boaters. Alan Keyser with his Boat
