P1 USA 2011 Madison Regatta PHOTOS
 

Greetings Everyone,

Here are some photos from this weekend's racing during the Madison Regatta. It was definitely different seeing V-hulls along with Unlimited Hydroplanes, in Madison, on the Ohio River.

The P1 28SS Panther made its Inaugural Debut here in the US @ Madison. The Panther is definitely a great class to watch & shoot.

These Images are linked from my Flickr page, but Full Galleries can be found here:

Thanks for posting, James. Great pictures. That P1 Panther class looks like it could be affordable fun. I hope they do well with it.
Bob

James,

Awesome shots, thanks.

The boats are crystal clear, the water is motion blurred, great panning!

I agree with Bob, great head to head competition with equal hulls and engines
combined with affordability....this could be the start of something good.

I enjoyed speaking with you yesterday.

great photos pete!

Bob,

Your mighty welcome. I would quantify $60K USD as being affordable. :drink: That is the number I was given by the P1 UK guys, for how much it cost' to buy a fully rigged & ready to race Panther. It was a lot of fun, watching these guys over the weekend.

Was Pete shooting pixs @ Madison!!! :bong: :bong: :bong: :lolhit:

No, I am in the South America, Bolivia to be exact!
:)

LMAO... I know your not in the States, but I quoted Coolerman, since they commented "great photos pete"... I'm trying to figure out how someone could think I was you. :drink:
