Hi Folks,
This has been a good another year for the team, it was a tough start trying to get the teams organized whilst changing them around to accommodate the new starter dogs which had come of age some worked and some didn’t so it was back to the drawing board we finally got the teams as we wanted them and then start getting them to gel as teams, then seeing some brilliant racing most weekends with the Rockets team finally breaking the sub 17 bracket in July whilst racing Mansfield Marnicks .
The BFA Championships came up fast this year the team supplying a ring and keeping it in order for the 3 day competition so that is a big thank you to all concerned and also entering 4 racing teams
Rockets ,where running in division 2 on the Sunday this was a mixed days racing not running to its full potential I would say it was down to nerves but next year should be completely different
Runners where running in division 12 on the Saturday had some brilliant racing and was just piped to the top prize by Fylde Coasters who were running .5 of a second quicker
Ricochets where running in division 24 on the Saturday and really should have won this division but it wasn’t to be.
Runarounds where running in division 23 on the Saturday, has run brilliant all year and taking the top prize and winning there division.
Overall a good three days at the championships meeting up with people we don’t see as often as we would like
As a team we have hosted 4 tournaments this year 2 indoor and 2 outdoor all very excellent shows and it is with all the hard work put in by us as a team that make them successful thank you to all the team the hard work is really appreciated by us, and I would also like to add a thank you to the Hillam team for helping out in the stat’s tent as and when we were racing.
As a team we have said good bye to several team members who have left RFT for one reason or another as all ways we wish them the best of luck with their new teams and look forward to meeting and racing you in the ring and also would like to welcome the new team members to RFT and hope your stay is an enjoyable one.
Team Captain Andy
