Round 1 of UIM Aquabike Grand Prix and luck has not been with the side of Broc Austin: Didn't have the best weekend of racing here in Qatar. Had a horrible start in an unorganized mess of a rolling start the first Moto and charged through to finish 10th. My ski had some electrical issues from the salt water and I couldn't get it running for Moto 2 but luckily Kevin Reiterer let me borrow his ski for a few laps to get points in Moto 2. I think I finished 12th overall. Glad the first race is over and now I know what to expect for the next round in Castro, Italy. Time to go home and train and get a ski ready for the 2nd Round. Thanks to everyone that helped me get here: Queen Racing, Hydroturf, Jettribe, Skat-Trak, Kommander Industries, Oakley, Liquid Militia, Weber Power, my parents, big thanks to Kylie Elmers and Kevin Reiterer for lending me a ski, and Benjamin Francois for helping with my ski.
