—
Day 3 at the 2024 A-Cat Australian Nats. 3 more races complete for a total of 9 in three days which is a lot for the A-Class. Two good fights for the lead in both fleets. Adam Beattie keeps scoring only 1st & 2nd but Ravi Parent is still there holding the pace winning last race of the day. Currently 5pts gap to Beattie .
The old guard bit behind with Bundy in 3rd and Brewin 5th. Matt Homan in between (4th) racing a DBA F1 / Mischa DS.
In the Classics/Floating, Andrew Landenberger got his stuff together racing again the Scheurer A-Cat and went to hunt Scotty Anderson. 2, 1 & 1 today and Landy sits only 3pts behind the leader after two discards entered the game.
