Wanted Racing Team

Tough two weeks trouble shooting different faults, able to repair some to keep us going at times, despite temperatures nearing 46° on both weekends. Convict started to show some speed but then an electrical fault became the end of our run been unable to diagnose with the limited time we had to keep going.
Thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks again as usual for the BAD boat challenge. Awesome to see the yanks and the kiwis over for the racing. Thanks to both committees for hosting the events, also Thanks to Chris Palmer and the OutMcCosker ContractingiPenrite Oilt.
A massive thanks to our crew and sponsors for their support.

Gearbox out for a repair held us up in our shootout.

Awesome weekend to kick off round one USA & NZ vs Australia BAD Boat Challenge. Friday and Saturday were challenging for us as we were chasing fuel system gremlins, the team put in endless effort to get back on track for Sunday as Convict performed a whole lot better. Came 3rd in both our heats then put us in a repecharge with some tough competition which we came home in 3rd , but unfortunately our race time wasn’t quick enough for us to move into the semifinals, but to round out to finish our weekend on a good note.
