Logan Rock Race
For the Cruisers – the Evening One series finale was set for an exciting finish tonight with four boats still in contention to take top spot. Solo raced off the start line and became the boat to chase. Laid Back held off an early challenge from Ramshackle and hauled in her smaller relation, Out On A Limbo.
