The final day in the 2012 Frostbite Series.
Slightly warmer and sunnier than yesterday, the wind still in the south F2 - F3.
Ivan set the first course: Ss - Cs - Ap - Bs - 18s - Ss x 2 laps. The course was a change from the usual - to make more interesting, Ivan's words.
Slippers shot into the lead and held on to it. John & Ian apparently suffering from the excellent Quiz Night.
We used the same course for the next two races. The second race was 2 laps and the third race just one lap. Slippers won the second race but Ian & John won the third by a few seconds on corrected time.
John and Ian alternate helming and crewing.
The Overall Series Winner is Dave (Slippers) Holmes of Jetwind fame on his Topper.

3rd Overall - John & Jack Broadhead - Enterprise
