Congratulations to Stu McGougan on yet another series win, Bob Mitchell for a very closely fought 2nd place, narrowly beating Mike Walters who places 3rd overall.
The 16" wheel class has had a massive attendance this year and was hotly cotested throughout, with Pete Buchan managing to take the honour of 1st place, in his first complete series, also claiming the Best Newcomer prize and gaining free entry into next years series.
Stu (minnow) McKay yet again proved his skills to take top Junior.
Well done to the top 10 for qualifying to attend the World Championships, and to all 25 competitors for their commitment, we hope to see you all back next year for another fun set of events!
The top 10 can now run their respective SCO number, relative to their finishing position in this years series, if they wish to do so.
The awards will be held at the SPKA Summer Fly on the 23rd/24th June 2012.
