Talk n Trash was nuts. I was on my boat today watchin them do their speed runs, and Talk n Trash missed the turn on the straightaway and went into the spectator fleet. Flew by doing like 100+ right in front of us, that was crazy. Same with the "Lightning Jacks Marina" boat. Too bad Miss Geico didn't screw up, I'd love to see that thing up close. They should really have another marker on that straightaway because from that buoy where your supposed to turn, you can't see anything....I checked.

LOL Bimini we went there on purpose so we could do a rooster tail close to spectator dock. We use the crane as a refrence point so it is actually easier then most sites. Glad you liked it :coolcowboy:

Are those recent or old pictures of race site?

The street party was Friday night, Jersey Skiffs and testing shots are from yesterday.

Do races run on a rainy Sunday?

There is some new equipment at the race site to deal with any scattered rain that might be in the area. :drink:

Will the races be broadcast live this year?

Cool thanks for the fly-by! How 'bout a couple of passes to the launch dock? :lolhit:

All races went off as expected. Last race was delayed about 20 min. due to heavy rain and visibility was very bad( couldn't see the buoys on the far side). Wind really kicked up and conditions were very rough but still fun.

Yeah it was pretty bad. The tents all collapsed, that was dangerous. We left like halfway into the last race. Was soaking wet and cold.

After the pace lap it seamed that the racing never went off so i left and headed west through a nasty storm. Did the final racing ever go off?

Yeah after the pace lap when it started pouring, they stopped for about 20 mins and then started the race. Don't know who placed what or anything about the final outcome - but I'm gonna guess Miss Geico won because she lapped the other racers at least once that I know of, if not than twice. Second was the AmsOil team and Wicked took 3rd, I THINK. Not sure. Anybody have the official rankings?

ok thanks. I wasnt hanging around for 20 min in the pouring rain. I had no coverage.

all different classes Miss Geico won ( ran unopposed ) Talkin Trash won ( ran unppposed ), and then I lost track. I think Amsoil won Supercat lite. I'm not positive Talkin Trash ran alone. Wicked might be in their class, but I don't think so

There was a little rain amongst the boat racing.

Had a great day at the race... shot the first heat from the launch dock with Shaun and then hitched a ride with Bruce on the Velocity.

There were that many classes? By the time I got there, the boats before the big guys were racing. And as far as the big guys went, I thought that race had Miss Geico, Wicked, Talk n Trash, Lightning Jacks, Amsoil, all those big guys together, and then those 3 fountains, Wazzup and the other 2 were their own. Eh, either way, was fun :coolcowboy:
