FINAL RESULTS-Crescent City-KILOs
Thanks to Sam Baker for this post from Scream & Fly...

Final Results from Crescent City Kilos
Here's the final press release for the records that were set and established this week in Crescent City. You might notice a familiar name in the Performance Yacht record. The speed for the Turbine boat was way down from what they were expecting to run, but they replaced the engines the week before the event and the extra power ended up blowing up the outdrive, so they had to feather it through just to establish the record. Either way, I'm sure they'll be back next year to run it at 100%.
