Canterbury club, round 2. The start of the classics?

By Grant Wilson | on November 22, 2011 | 0 Comment
Past NZ Events

Classic skis were out in force for the second round of the 2011 Canterbury Summer Tour. The word went round that if there were enough classic skis we would put them up against each other, and what a sight it was. 3x Kawasaki X2’s, 2x Yamaha Waveraiders, 2x Yamaha Blasters, a Kawasaki 300 Poleski and an old Waverunner thingy..

Unfortunately I could only hang round for one round due to other commitments, but still managed to catch some of the action with the camera. I have been told all and all an awesome day of fun, and from what I saw the highlight was definitely the old classics racing round the lake. This class was all about fun, our chief lap scorer ditched the clipboard and joined in on the auction meaning no one could keep track of the ski’s.

Since this race, there has been so much talk and hype, and people saying “after seeing that, I’ll drag out the old ski I have buried in the back of the shed to compete next time”  ……
.
Is this what we need to get to more people back involved in the sport?

.

 

The pole ski ‘Stock’ class still proved to have the biggest entry number, which isn’t unusual for the Canterbury club and Glenn Chisholm has just managed to hold off Mark Bainbridge for the series to-date.

.
The N/A Runabout class also has only a few points in it after round two, with Kris Mackie  on his Sea-doo HX holding off Nick Magill on his Kawasaki STX-R.

Chris Farnley turned up to the racing with his Kawasaki Ultra 300x and entered it in the ‘Runabout Open’ class, this is the first time one  of these skis has been involved in short course racing in the South Island, but Michael Carstairs still took out first place on his Sea-doo RXP-X. Again I only caught the first round, but Nick Magill (also competing on his STX-R as mentioned above) was riding pretty hard and made Farnley work very hard to hold onto second place.
