- We will be on site at 7am Sunday 23 July.

So this event can run smoothly please ensure you and all your crew are on site rigged and ready to go at the following times:

- To reiterate we will not be holding the races up for crews that are late so appreciate your understanding.
- Dress for the conditions - if you are sick stay home
