Smith Racing

Joel Smith cops a shower at the Dargle Winter Spectacular last weekend. Great snap by the QuickSnaps guy.
Go the Terrace. !!!!!!!

Bit of a mixed weekend for our Race Secretary Joel Smith at Dargle last weekend. Piloting the Smith Family Racing no 66 BABA, a jumped start in the AFPGP final on Saturday resulted in being penalised a lap. Thanks to Russell Chown Photography for the pic.

A massive thank you to all of the volunteers, rescue crews, AFPGP officials, and the team at Dargle Valley Boat Club for putting together such a fantastic event.

We couldn’t do it without you. 👊🚤

Great first day at with Joel’s hard work behind the scenes paying off!

Qualified P10 and moved to the first heat race starting in P6. Joel had a rough start and moved from the back of the pack to come home with a strong 3rd place finish!

Some great racing on the water today and we can’t wait to move into the reverse grid race tomorrow and final! 🏁

⚡ QUALIFYING DONE & DUSTED! ⚡

What a quick turnaround — and WOW, did it deliver! 👀🔥

🚤 FASTEST QUALIFIER:
👉 MACH 1 takes the top spot!

Right behind them:
🥈 Simon Troy
🥉 Carlin Bailey

There was some serious pace out on the water, but unfortunately for the Fourtree Lawyers team, despite putting down an incredible time, they were disqualified due to being underweight.

A tough break after such a strong performance.

Now the tone is set…

👉 Racing is next 🔥🚤
