Leaderboard Challenge - Flying Fish Hovercraft - Sunday 6th March 2011.
For the club visit we had a total of 21 people at the Flying Fish Challenge.
Those attending the Flying Fish hovercross circuit were:-
Peter & Elaine Venn, David, Anna & Thomas Venn, Arthur & Judy Stead, Rod & Caryl
Jensen, Angus Kerr & Anne, Des Goss, Dale Baxter, Alan Harm, John Lee, Dan
Logovik, Rita Chaffey, Steven Odgaard and our hosts, Russ, Emma & Hetty Pullen.
We had a fun afternoon on the single craft circuit at the Flying Fish next door to the
Big Fish Tavern. Russ and Emma have set up a hovercraft fun track beside the
Bruce Highway on the disused go-cart track north of Caboolture.
Each participant had a 3 lap trial in turn to get the feel of the 3.1m Flying Fish Marlin
Hovercraft, then Russ timed everyone on a two lap test.
