I say there were around 30 boats there, give or take a few. A couple of boats rolled at the race but everyone seem to be OK from what I seen. I'm sure more info will be released about their condition.

Was a good turnout for this year. Feel super bad for the Rufstr race group.Beautiful boat.

Did Rufstr only spin out or did it also flip?

What was the issue with that corner?

The water through the middle and exit of that turn was very turbulent and inconsistent...it was weird, turn on opposite end of course was just ruff, current wasn't as bad in my opinion

They spun out and rolled we spun the velocity 90 deg and we did a 180 in the cat I will say it was driver opps in both boats and im not the wheel man in either lol.
In the cat it was kind of funny as we are spinning we come to a stop and I look over at rick and he has his resperator in his mouth I guess he was prepped for the worst lol
In the velocity as we were sliding I looked over my shoulder and I watched the yellow bat boat go over.
That corner was doing some weird things if you tried to take it real tight .
We haven't looked at our go pros yet but we might have some good footage.

We have uploaded a lot of content to our website gallery so far. But we got more to upload. Some more photos from the last race and some more of the RUFSTR hook and roll accident in turn #2. But you can see all we have uploaded so far at the link below...
