TRIS BEST – OTC
It’s always good to have Speed Week in town each year and have the action going on right outside the OTC’s windows. If you’ve ever been down a speed course, you know it is subtly different to any other discipline in the sport and takes a lot of focus and mental strength to pit yourself against the elements, particularly when a certified storm is blowing! Stoked for three OTC superstars that claimed the youth podium on the weekend – Sam Anstey ahead of Tyler Baker and Lewis Limm in third. And hats off to Pat Van Hoof, the super friendly Belgian speedster who makes the pilgrimage with his wife Tania to Weymouth each year. He really impressed when the chips were down on the Monday. Just a shame Brian made a late show, as those that waited on were blessed with a spectacular Saturday after the event had closed. Scotty Stallman posted a peak of over 44 knots in one of Brian’s mega gusts, leaving us to ponder what could have been. That said, there was still plenty of action during the week, plenty of smiling faces around the Academy and lots confirming they will be back in 2018 – see you then!
