LOMO Blaze Inland Championship 2024 *

The Blaze Class rounds off it’s 2024 season in October with another blast around the inland cans at Chase Water, last visited by the Class in 2019. It was a blowy affair back then and some of us will be hoping for the same again. Five years later we still have many of the same names on 2024 event scorecards, so it will be interesting to see the risers and the fallers. And by the evidence of this year’s racing so far, the die-hard now-grandmasters from 2019 are still keeping the young blood on their toes.

In 2023 the Blaze Inlands were held at an icy and windswept Yorkshire Dales SC, which witnessed Pembrokeshire YC’s Christian Smart taking top honours from serial high-achieving youth, Will Gould, and Grandmaster Nick Hunt in third.

Historically, the Blaze Inlands has attracted fleet numbers second only to the Nationals. As the final Traveller event of the Series (three Blaze Class events to qualify), this 6-race Inlands will cast many names on to the Travellers Series spreadsheet just by crossing the start line. Series victory will be won or lost on performance during the Inlands weekend and dangles tantalisingly for the picking by any one of several names.

With grateful thanks for the generous support from LOMO, the Blaze Class Association is delighted to present an impressive spread of prizes this year, featuring LOMO’s aptly named ‘Blaze Expedition Holdall’. The synergy between class and sponsor is tangible and bodes well for the final Blaze blow-out of the year. And combined with The Chase SC’s habit of throwing a good party, the table is well-set for a feast of an event.

Check out the LOMO Blaze Expedition Holdall here, 5 of which will up for grabs down the length of the scorecard.
