At SC this week it was decided to rerun 2 of the three trophies postponed earlier in the season due to poor weather.
The kings cup will be awarded to the winner of the first race tomorrow (Sunday 12th October ) and the McKinlay Cup the second race. The only change to the expected programme will be mass starts and the same course for all classes.
The results will also count towards the Sunday points series for each class as normal.
