With only a handful of points separating the leaders of both championship and consistency tables for the metro series, the heat seven has the potential to decide the outcome of the Farr 9.2 racing season. Rumours of new sails, practice runs during the week, and challenges from feisty underdogs had us all on the edge of our seats for the race.
Held once again at RPYC, the heat gave us a clear leader at the finish line. Full results are:
