Keith Mini Report
Yep 11,000 odd people converging on the town of Keith in South Australia confirms what people have been saying for a couple of years, it is one huge event not to be missed. Motor cross, side shows , clothing and goods stalls, Figure 8 races, Lawn mower tractor pulling, lots of food and drink, Vintage tractor pulling, Modified tractor pulling, Aerobatic displays, V8 jet boats, Header demo derby is only half of it, no wonder it draws people from all over the country. Some come by car, others by bus, some even rode, lots of others towed a van or camper and made a weekend of it.
The weather looked a bit ordinary first up in the early morning but things cleared up as the competitions started with the modified tractors. A smaller than usual field of limited mini modified tractors hit the fresh track Mad Dog traveled from Tasmania and it was worthwhile as they came out on top for the day followed by Set The Sled
The super mini class saw 8 tractors run down the track Nightmare and Wild Wombat were still working out some bugs, no bugs with little Willey as they took out all three first placing ( not sure but there may have been some ball tampering there too ?) The 890kg class saw u Jack sneak up and grab a well earned third persistence pays off in the end.
The open mini class saw Jaws struggling to go in a straight line but they finished all runs unlike Stone Cold who again had motor issues with the top end. Stampede and Blown Income seemed to have good runs pulling right up to the 100 meter mark as was Flat Broke who was lucky to not do a motor in as the seal let go on the engine oil filter.
