Latest Team Dargle News:

Hard weekend for the BRP Racing team at the third round of the AFPGP SERIES.
Saturday was apart of the the Victorian Outboard Club Archer Eade Memorial.
Results from Saturday were;
🥈 2100cc Supersport Race Marine Trophy
🥈 2700cc Superstock Len Sheltrum Trophy
🏅 4th Place in the Archer Eade Memorial U/OB

Sunday was all about the AFPGP Points and Championship and Practice and Qualifying were combined as time was limited.

Rough conditions and misjudgment on Briney’s behalf caused the #104 DAC to barrel roll in          the top turn, thankfully landing on its feet.
      Briney is perfectly fine, just one written off engine cowl, and missing airbag hatch.
      Huge thank you to the rescue crews from both VOC & AFPGP.
      Unfortunately, due to rough water conditions the rest of the day was canceled. Leaving the          points for the championship remain the same going into the Final Round.

Now to look forward to the Finale at St George in July, but before that, our home race!

Shananigans went to Taree expecting it to be the Lock n Load show at their home track but even though we knew we were in for a tough weekend the Lock n Load team had a tougher one but they'll be back better and faster but we'll all be chasing Brendan Mason in Impulse, what a weekend he had and congratulations to Brendan and his team.
Pugs and the awesome team kept chipping away with the old girl and Pugs said he really enjoyed the racing, driving his backside off all weekend..
The results from the weekend were;
2nd in the Bradley Pratt Memorial Invitational
2nd Australian Dulux Unlimited Unblown Championship.
3rd in the Vic Currie Unlimited Displacement Invitational.
3rd in the Geoff Stevenson Memorial Unlimited Open.
3rd in the Australian Griffith Boat Club Championship Trophy for normally aspirated 6ltr's.
3rd in the Super 6 Series, round 2.
3rd in the Taree PBC 6ltr pointscore.
And we head to Dargle for the 3rd and final round of the Super 6 Series in 2nd place only 5 points behind the continually improving and very fast Michael Johnson in Too Addicted.
Thank you Taree PBC and your tireless band of workers for a well run and safe event.
Thank you Tim and Stacey for the privilege of driving that awesome boat and thank you CT and the Mad Minions for looking after Pugs and that beautiful boat, you guys are awesome!

Be very proud Dargleites.

Our Dargle Valley Boat Club members / family had a cracking weekend at Lake Mulwala.

Our Formula Future drivers, Max and Makayla Cook and Cooper Smith did us proud with great results in J2 and J3.

Wayne in GP 60, Miss Tina Breeze won his heat of the EC Griffith Cup but had a coil fail in final but on Sunday had a toe to toe battle with GP1 and finished a very close 2nd in the Mulwala Ski Club/Yarrawonga Gold Cup. Thank you Sir Al, Browny, Kempy, Mal and James and the GP60 team for looking after Wayne and that awesome boat.

Pugs in Shananigans won the 1st round of the 3 round Super 6 Series which was run over 4 races on the weekend. Thank you Timbo and Stacey for the honour of driving Shananigans and thank you to the Mad Minions for looking after Pugs and that beautiful boat. Next event for is Shananigans is Taree at Easter then the DVBC Winter Spectacular in June. Stay Tuned!

Briney in BRP Racing qualified on pole and drove her backside off all weekend and never gave up and had two 2nd places and a 3rd and finished the weekend in 2nd overall for the AFPGP round in the SST120 class. But the highlight for Briney and us as a family was when she was the fastest outboard qualifier for the Mulwala Ski Club /Yarrawonga Gold Cup and she and Pugs got a plan and Briney executed it perfectly and she drove her way into 3rd behind behind GP1 and her Uncle Wayne in GP60 but in front of an unlimited boat and a 6 Ltr, to say the family was proud of her is an understatement!! Briney is supported and guided by the best in the sport and we can’t thank Doggy and Titty enough for looking after Briney and BRP.

Simon in 888 Racing had a few issues, qualified 2nd to Briney but still got the job done in the races and won 3 from 3 and won the round in the SST120 class.

None of these results are possible without the awesome team of people that look after these boats and drivers. Congratulations, you all did us very proud!

Thank you to all the volunteers on and off the water that give up their valuable time to run these events!!

Briney wouldnt be in the position she is without the longtime support of Martin and Michele Cook from Cooks Fencing and Suckers Excavations; Lindsay Johnston from Flexistrut Australia; Rhys Coles; Dargle Turf n Soil and Dargle Ski Park; 888 Racing and the Troy Family; Michael Newton Custom Paints, MSC Signs.
