Well what a weekend! Taree 2007! Where Stairway to Heavens main competition in Brett 'the jet' Caldwell in Sensational retired from the racing early on the Friday during the open practice dropping a valve! Unlucky Brett the jet!
Matt Stone in Not Bad also had a disappointing weekend retiring early Saturday morning with oil pressure failure. What a weekend it was turning out to be with 2 very fast boats out for the weekend. Unlucky Matty!
Stairway to Heavens first race was the 6ltr Carby where we had to stand up to Hi-Flya. It was tight to the first turn boy but a comftable win for us in the end with the boat going exceptionally quick.
Dean Barry in Shes the Culprit had an excellent weekend being one of the consistant front runners over the two day event coming in close seconds behind Liberty and Truly Wickerd. Excellent effort Dean!
Greg Hamilton in Freedom had a fantastic weekend in his first race meet in the 6ltr Carby class. Was finishing close 3rds all weekend with a very close win in the final 6ltr race of the weekend. Great effort Greg!
Dave Gray in Noise Works was finding some horse power in the closing stages of the weekend, sussing out his fellow competiors weaknesses and using that to his advantage.. Excellent racing Dave!
Brian McKosker in Liberty once again was the stand out of teh weekend, taking out the title of King of the River for a 3rd time. Awesome effort Brian!
Allan Newton in Truly Wickerd was also a force to be wreckond with in the B.A.D races. Stepping up to the plate against Liberty and Shes the culprit and even beating them on several occasions. Awsome stuff Newto!
The Stairway to Heaven crew had a awsome weekends racing at the Taree Easter Powerboat Classic coming in a close 2nd place behind Hi-Flya in the Allan Smythe Memorial race!
The Stairway to Heaven Crew would just like to thank everyone involved in getting the event up and running from the pit marshalls, tractor drivers, crews, competitors and of course the spectators and fans! Hope to see you all in 2008!
