 Press Release from Team Manager Jo Dixie PSP.
Elf - John Puddifoot (RYA Powerboat Manager) and Scott
2006 World CHampionship in South Africa.
Press Release from PSP.
Team PSP, headed by two Plymouth fire fighters Scott Wilson and Kev Elford, were
racing this weekend in the Thundercat National Championships in Stokes Bay,
Gosport, for the penultimate event of the
season. Thundercats are 4m rigid inflatable boats that race in the surf at
speeds of up 50mph.
During the first heat on Saturday, after a very
promising start, Team PSP were involved in a racing incident which led to the
co-pilot, Kev Elford, being taken to hospital for an operation on his hand and
arm. He will remain in hospital for a few days to recover and unfortunately
this does mean he will be out of action for the last race in Weymouth on 2nd
November. Team PSP had been in a comfortable third place in the championship
with a twenty point advantage over their competitors. This means that after a
season of sheer hard work and determination they will probably be out of running
for the National Championship which is bitterly disappointing for Team
PSP.
A note from TC HQ:
All at Thundercats including teams, officials and HQ wish 'Elf' a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him at Weymouth... quite clearly for a while he will have to be in charge of the 'TC off the water entertainment' in true 'Elf' Style.
Big hug from us all, but he'll be recieving that personally as there is a waiting list for visitors to go and see him.
