The Volvo Youth Nationals have come and gone. This one has got to be the worst in the last few years, in Matt’s class out of a possible 14 races only 6 races were actually completed, with no racing at all on 2 days. So all things considered Matt’s results were reasonable considering the situation. He achieved a creditable 12th in one race.
