South Queensland Power Boat Club will be holding its next club race day at Yeronga on 31 August 2014. This is a great opportunity to enjoy a day of low-pressure power boat racing and, if nothing else, a great opportunity to do some test and tune work on your boat. It’s also the last race day of the current licence year, so a chance to get a bit more value from your licence 😉
All classes will be catered for – call Mary McMillan on 0408-756631 or Grant Jones on 0408-278 792 for further information or to advise the club that you’ll be competing.
Venue is Brisbane Corso, Yeronga:
