Detroit River Awesomeness
 
Guys i had to join because today has been the best day down at the Detroit River since the Red Bull runs. By fluke I heard the sound of the motors and man was it ever a great event. Luckily living in the area i do get to see alot of these off shore boats but never get to see them running nose to nose, balls out in the choppy Detroit River.

I hope this becomes a regular thing, it attracted so many people on Windsor's river front. For those of you who provided this entertainment, thanks so much what a way to start ending the summer.

Cheers.

I was stuck in the bayou, or I would have been there. Plans to do it next year? Would love to boat up there, maybe with some members? (If my float ever sees water......)

from what i know they're trying to make this a regular event. I sure hope so because there's alot of potential for a great new race location!

They are and they are working on some big backing as well. I was told, this morning, they are already planning next years event. It sounds like it will be earlier in the season if/when next years event rolls around. While we had great weather this weekend, all of us know (from MI) after Labor Day, there is no telling what the weather will be like.
