Blokart sailors at full speed

No police speed radars bothered racers at the national masters on the weekend, says Papamoa Blokart inventor Paul Beckett.

Members from the Auckland Blokart Club were clocked for speeding by a police officer on Muriwai Beach, Auckland, when out training for the Waitangi Day event.

They were caught travelling at 64km/h in a 30km/h section of the beach.

The police officer, however, let them off with a friendly warning.

Speed limits were not a problem at the Ohakea Air Force Base though, says Paul.

The Blokart world champion in the super heavy division says the course was perfect for racing.

'It's the best venue you can get for the sailors. Conditions were perfect; we were racing over 70km/h.

'It was amazing.”

Seventy competitors took to the runway at the Air Force Base.

'It was a pretty good turn out.”

Paul just got pipped for the gold by John Nicholson.

He says all gold, silver and bronze podium positions in the three divisions were all members of the Auckland Blokart Club.
