Bendigo Youth Racing has had a successful night at the Bendigo Harness Racing Club, holding a raffle to raise money for our 2008 campaign.
The event was a good oppurtunity for the team to get out of the workshop and work as a team in a new environment. The whole team turned out and brought BY-06 with them, with said vehicle being on display in the presentation area for the whole night.
With a TV, a Bunnings Gift voucher and a Bertocchi Meat hamper up for grabs, and tickets selling at a dollar, the demand was strong. In between answering numerous questions about "what it was" and "how fast does it go", the Bendigo Youth Racing team managed to sell over a thousand tickets!
Between race 4 and 5 the Bendigo Harness Racing Club allowed us to demonstrate BY-06 around the trot track. In the 2 laps allocated, Rowan Nankervis put on quite a show. What started as a over-correction on the compacted sand of the course, soon turned into a deliberate and fast drifting demonstration! The crowd were well pleased and entertained.
Just before race 7 the raffle was drawn. Three lucky members of the public collected their prizes and stood for photos. Congratulations to our winners.
Many thanks for a fantastic night go to The Bendigo Harness Racing Club and Warehouse Sales Electrical. They have been strong supporters of Bendigo Youth Racing Inc. for many years now, and their commitment to seeing us race is amazing. Huge thanks also go to Bunnings Warehouse and Bertocchi Smallgoods, who put in a $50 voucher and meat hamper respectivly.
The winners are drawn
