Zapcat Racing - Blue Sheets Racing claims another National Championship title
Zapcat National Championships 2011 - Results, awards and final standings
Blue Sheets Racing claimed a Zapcat National title for the third year in a row at Fistral, Cornwall last weekend. Although pilot Craig Davis was shore-bound with a leg injury, the team still managed to race, with former racing adversary Jack Weller stepping in for the last two rounds.
Jack and co-pilot Rob Martin had some fast and furious racing over the weekend, battling with Team Suffolk and Angry Hornet amongst others to finish first on Friday and second on Saturday. This was enough to secure the overall National title (ZCR50 class) but left them a point short for the coveted Natioanl Surf Chapions award.
Congratulations to Craig, Jack and Rob for a great effort during the season.
Congratulations also, to Exe Jets, winners of the National Championships (ZCR50x class), as well as Team Suffolk, Angry Hornet, Live Wire, Team Essence, TradeMyMotor and all who raced this season.
Finally, huge thanks from all at Blue Sheets to the safety team, the organisers and to the venues that have helped create yet another great season.
