Hey Chad, can you list the top speeds, boats, engines when you get a chance please?

Sucks that River Dave didn't have a live web cam this year.

Thanks Bro

Did anyone beat London's 180? I left after he and JT in the Blue Skater had made 2 runs.
The event was very well run. Very few delays and lots of nice runs around 150. Was a nice event from a spectators perspective. The water was smooth and they had enough patrol boats to keep the spectator boats in check. Lots of good vantage points from the bank. Announcer did a good job. Congrats
