Hi all,
BENT SPRINT POSTPONEMENT NOTICE

We had our monthly committee meeting last night where it was decided to postpone the Bent Sprint that was to be held this Sunday 18 November at Masterton Motorplex. This is due to lack of entries, weather forecast and general manpower needed.
This is not a decision that was made lightly as we were looking forward to bringing together a new event for competitors.
We will be looking at holding this event later next year.
Thanks, WCC Committee
