It was yet another rain affected drag race event which meant that we couldn’t complete racing in all of the classes.
We were able to complete racing in the 16 second class using the timing system until lightening struck the timing equipment, causing damages and rendering the equipment unusable for the remainder of the event.
The 15 and 14 second classes were ran using the hand drop method with the last 2 races of the 14 second class having to go to qualifying times due to the event being stopped because of poor light.
The 13, 12, 11 and 10 second classes were decided based on the best qualifying times for those classes.

NOTES:
1. Only the 16 second class could be completed using the timing system. Just as elimination for the 15 second class was started, lightening struck the ‘christmas tree’ and a decision was made to abandon usage of the system for the remainder of the day. Additionally, there was an extended period of rain which caused further delays to the resumption of racing.
2. The 14 second class could not be completed due to poor light. Only 1 semifinal and the final remained. The winner was determined based on qualifying times of the semi finalists and then ultimately the finalists.
3. Competitor #75, Juan Refos (Suriname) was initially awarded the trophy for the 10 second class but on rechecking the report generated by the timing system, it was noted that the time of 10.207 set by competitor #328, Peter Daby was not displayed. As a result, the win awarded to competitor #75 has been rescinded.
