The construction of the 2009 Bendigo Youth Racing vehicle is on track for the Australian International Pedal Prix which will be underway in only 12 weeks time.
The team is continuing to gather momentum with with last night's work session resulting in the second half of our fairing being produced ,after making the right side of the vehicle last weekend. The lay up went very smoothly with BYR's Nigel Preston adding "Having 10 guys there to lay up the canopy certainly makes light work of it" and with the job done by 10pm, it was time for knock off for some, which is by far the earliest we have finished up a build session this year with our work sessions usually continuing past the 1am mark. The 09 fairing is considerably more rigid that the model that everyone saw was in a bad way at day break during last years AIPP. So as a result the vehicle will be heavier than last year but in our opinion its good weight to have. Stay tuned for more vehicle and team updates as thing start to heat up in the lead up to September's race.

Saw what the new fairing looks like the other day, looks very low & and somewhat skinnier than you're used to. Should go quick - hope it stays upright as well!
A question though, how to do you find useful work for 10 people at the same time? We find any more than 4 people and they're in the way for a layup.
