The first reasonable day we have had for months! Not quite up to the standard we have have come to expect for Speed Fortnight but a few 40 knots peaks were seen.
Quite a good turnout today as well.
Started on 5.0 Koncept and CA40 but quickly swapped to IS87 slalom when I failed to top 35 knots. Went to a 1 hour and was half way through a reasonable one when I big black cloud come over and the wind picked up substantially. Bugger! Have to abort the 1HR and get back on the speed board. Jumped on the CA40 again and pulled a few 37's and 38's. eventually a 39 but the 40 eluded me. It's been a while since we had any sort of speed conditions so I was actually quite excited that I might have cracked a 38 average!
Went back and started another 1 hr and just as I finished another bigger black cloud approached and the guys were all lining up in anticipation, so I grabbed the speed board again and followed them down to finally crack a 40 peak (just) to make sure of the 38+ average!
Looks like we might have a bit more fun in the next few days.
