This is the first time we will be using electronic timing and results processing, so we will be doing things a little bit differently.
Because this is a championship race and handicap race at the same time, it will be a HUGE help to us if you are coming or even think you may be coming, to pre-register. It is easy to do and will make things a lot easier on the day. (Note: you will still be able to enter if you don’t pre-register.)
Please pre-register with Webscorer using the link https://www.webscorer.com/register?raceid=442189. This is of assistance to the Race Handicapper.
