Wacky Race 5 Season 2022/23 Results!

Click here for results and the updated table.

Well done to the hardy souls that took part in race 5 last week, despite the rubbish conditions there were brilliant times all round on what has become one of the favourite Wacky routes around the Sty Primary. Fortunately there was chocolate to put a smile on the face’s of the first three! First over the line was Sarah Mackay, closely folllowed by Donald Caskie and Neil MacRury.

Dave Macdonald has leapt to the top of the table after another great run (remember it’s your best four scores that count so some racers will start dropping points). Caskie is still right in contention though just three points behind. Wacky race legend Neil is up to third, now just ahead of Martha. Remember in Race 6 points are increased by 50% so it will be 30 for the winner, all still up for grabs!

Race 6 (the final!) should be on Thursday 30th March, look out for details in your email box a week or so before 🙂

(Caskie, Sarah and Neil with their prizes yum!)

Wacky Race 4 Results – Season 2022/23

Race 4 results and the updated points table are here – Wacky Race 4 results 

Well done to the all racers, what a perfect night we had for race 4 A+ conditions! The finish on the running track made for a really exciting end to the race and one of the closest Wacky finishes we’ve had for a while. Neil was first onto the track and it look like he might take the win but Murdo Alex came powering through, rolling back the years to take the victory by just 6 seconds. Neil just managed to hold onto second place, kicking up a few gears in the last 20 metres to hold off Dave and fast finishing Finlay. Diane also had a great haul of points finishing 8th but picking up one of the bonuses for being close to her predicted time.

Caskie had another solid score and holds onto top spot in the table but Dave’s high finish has cut his lead to just 4 points. Martha consolidated her 3rd spot in the table with another great score. Remember it is your best four scores that count and a lot of racers two good scores now, so ALL up for grabs going into the last two races!

Race 5 will be on Thursday 23rd February, more details nearer the time!

Race 2 results and points table are here – Wacky Race 2 Results

Well done to all of the racers that took part on a classic blustery wacky night on a classic wacky route, the return of the Isle FM loops! Sarah Mackay took the win by a good distance, ahead of race 1 winner Donald Caskie and Finlay Macleod making his wacky debut. However, a rare occurrence meant the Murdo Maciver was actually top scorer on the night with 21! Sixth place giving him 16 points and a bonus 5 for being one of the three runners closet to their predicted time.

Caskie remains top of the league after the two races, with Scott Matheson moving up to second. Matthew and Martha are in a tie for third, but it’s all so close everything is still up for grabs!

Massive well done to everyone that took part, 36 in total. The next race will be on Saturday 17th December – the Xmas Handicap! See here for more details and make sure to get in touch with your route choice https://srac.org.uk/wackyraces/
