The third race was the show today. In supercat Reliable came in the harbor first with JDBrider, WHM, Talking trash in a tight bunch. WHM left the harbor first and ran uncontested. Talking Trash slowly made their way past Reliable and JDByrider by race end. CRC and Fury seemed to have picked the same short props and ran close a ways back. Fury didn't get too test cause the boat spent most of test day held up at a weight station.

Bud Light flat out kicked butt. They lead decisively from start to finish ahead of their class and the turbines. Aqua Marine rolled in turn 3, in the harbor, and landed right side up. Geico had a problem at the start but later ran some strong laps. JBS ran real well and began to close the gap toward Bud Light by the end.

Sorry a only covered a few classes.

Talked to Leon,

Taboo lead 5 laps and had a blower problem..... Instigator 1st Taboo 2nd.

Tony said they almost lost the boat in the corner, broken trim indicator. He thought they were going to roll.

Was Nigel in the Lucas/Outerlimits? Were they racing catkiller?

Thanks Jim,

Talked to Tony... they are done. They were loosing keepers and it was not worth taking both engines out. Bad batch of new parts. Tried to borrow BTM/ CRC had the tie bar so they will spectate tomorrow. He is bummed because they had them covered. Next year.

Good luck everyone on the last day.
