24th Aug 2019 Eric Hawkins Memorial Race Results
A small but quality field turned up for the annual Eric Hawkins Memorial. Thanks again to Eric's son Troy and his wife Hazel for arranging the great trophies and putting up a massive first prize of $500. With the first prize plus primes of $100 and $50 the race was hand and fast with 8 riders being dropped and DNFing. Many breaks got away for a short time including aggressive rides from Harley Moore, Ryan Thomas, Lachy Sinclair, Carter Bettles, Tom Coates, Sam Volkers and Rhys Robotham.
Ryan Thomas and Harley Moore were away for both primes but it was Carter Bettles who came away with the win in the end with Harley Moore second, Ryan Thomas third and Richard Allen fourth.
