Thanks to the Beechwood Hotel!
The race organisers would like to thank Michael and Tracy of the Beechwood Hotel for volunteering to be the Major Sponsor for the 2010 Beechwood Billycart Classic. This is in addition to the considerable support they already provide each year to help this important community event. Michael and Tracy – thank you!
Think you can help? Check out the Gallery here – first to work it out will be rewarded beyond their wildest dreams! Whoa! We have our Immortal already – and it’s Mark from Bellrowan Valley Horse Riding who’s identified the pics as being from the 2006 Race! Mark was in the ‘Mountain Missile’. Organisers of the Beechwood Billycart Classic have announced the date for the next race: Sunday, 24th Oct 2010 Note it in your calendar now, as it’s a day not to be missed! Further information such as Rules and Entry Forms will be posted here soon.  2009 Champions: Sam Barrington and Nathan Madden BILLYCART racing is in their blood and now Sam Barrington and Nathan Madden have joined an illustrious roll-call of names as the best billycart racers of the year. Aboard Loose Cannon, the young guns finished with a time of 6:34 to become the 2009 Beechwood Billycart Classic champions. In one of the closest races in the event’s 30 year history the schoolmates beat race favourites Luke Cantrell and Paul Kucera in What Tha? by just three seconds and showed that the future of the classic is in good hands. Meanwhile Dark Horse‘s Stephen and Bob Johnson rounded out the top three places with a time of 6:39.  The Winner: "Loose Cannon" What an incredibly tight finish for the 30th annual Classic -just 5 seconds from first place to third! Whilst many entrants are in it just for the fun, there’s no doubt that some of these 100kph racers take it quite seriously. Loose Cannon just pipped What Tha?, with Dark Horse hard on their tails. Given the intense competition, we’ll be looking forward to seeing these slippery carts – and many more – at the 2010 Classic. No doubt they’ll be working hard at ways to shave off a few more precious seconds! Jono Clarke and Ben Gill combined their collective skills to claim the 2001 22nd annual M & S Offset Billycart Classic at Beechwood yesterday. The pair, in cart number two, recorded a brilliant time of 6.54 to win the event from Peter Horton and Luke Barker, in cart number five. Horton and Barker chalked up a time of 7.96 – .23 seconds ahead of third placegetters Allan Lewis and Phil Saville. Peter Reynolds and James Flanagan, who placed fourth overall, took out the first veteran and first four-wheeler classes. Overall winners Clarke and Gill also received the prize for best presented cart. |
