[2007] ASRA Conehead Cup race #3

Post by Greg Ambler » Fri Jul 06, 2007 3:23 am

Hi all

At the start, ASRA set out to hold a 5 race series at 5 different venues in NSW. The first at Alawah the second at Kincumber drain and the third which was held on the weekend in the ACT Canberra. Each allocated venue was to be hosted by the local rippers from the area, and so for it just keeps on betting bigger and bigger.

Dave Pang and Paul Cross where the hosts for Canberra this time round and man, what a job they did. The weather was freezing but the skating was hot. A duel lane head to head that will be remembered for many years to come.

ASRA decided to hold a head to head with a looses bracket which kept everybody racing the whole day long.
