Richmond Radar Run..sort of....And pictures...
After sweating the weather all week we had great weather and a fantastic turnout!! I conservatively guess 60 boats.....Lots of Velocitys and Fountains and Checkmates. The only problem was that the cops turned out as well and shut us down.....Had a great time til a hole appeared in the side of my oil pan @ 4600 rpm (pics available in Tech (Is this bad?). Pictures of some of the boats are available in the photo section. Do a search on "Richmond Radar Run" or my user name. Some are low quality as is my digital camera. I have some great video though!!!

Sorry to hear about your troubles klmken!
I was rafted on one side, and made a count of the other. 77 boats on one side, and at least 40+ on our side. It was an INCREDIBLE turn out!! Too bad Johnny Law had to ruin it for everyone!! |

Sydwayz,
Is this you at the ramp? |
What a great day for a radar run, too bad the water cops screwed it up. Unfortunately a boater was killed in that area last week in a hit and run accident so timing was bad for us.
Great turn out and still had a good time hanging with a lot of boating buddies. Also had a great high performance boat show. There were many 100mph plus boats there. |

That's not my boat. That is my friends' John & Chris from Lake Anna. (That is a 2002, 496HO. He bought that boat after one ride on mine.) Mine has teal, purple and pink graphics.
The red 32 Skater is the new toy of Skater from the board; Mark House. That is the former 'How Sweet It Is' race boat. Add that to Mark's stable of two other Skaters and the 37AT. EVERYONE was watching that boat. |
That was my first time at that event, even with the pain in the a$$ Law man, I'll be back for next year!!!!!:D :D

What an unbelievable turn out. We saw quite a few hot rods in the river, too bad we couldn't see them run against the gun. I took some photos and will try to post them later.
I also heard about the death a week eariler. I was told that a fisherman in a john boat was killed when he was ran over by a big boat. With that in mind, I think the cops were just trying to do their job. Anyone know if those two boats that were snagged got tickets? Is someone going to get a permit for next time? |
Just wondered if any body had video or pics of Barry's 25' Elimantor or our Lavey craft. It really sucked the cops showed up but atleast Barry and i got to play around a little bit.
