Title: BanniUK at it again.
Post by: Ratty on June 27, 2016, 10:56:23 AM
Our home grown little star has just won another big event in the USA bagging a $30000 prize.

He dominated in the DR1 invitational and won with ease.

Well done Luke. Now the real pressure is on to top the UK league and win that car.  ;D

Nice job there.

Shame it wasn't before Thursday before the $ to £ crashed.
It would of been worth a bit more as well.

It's the other way round? Now he will get more $30,000 = £22,727 (based on $1.32 to £1), last week it would have been £20,270 (based on $1.48 to £1).
