Rick Miller went to the water for a little testing, but the devil was in the water and ripped the trap and made the lower unit look like a fish hook. In fifty years of racing, this is the worse test....we were tested alright..more midnight oil....doc Miller
If we get to Rainbow City about Monday evening, as part of a tourist itinerary, would it be possible to drop the trailer at the site and leave it for a couple of days?
With respect to all the fine photographers who contribute to boat racing in general and this website in particular, I felt like hanging up my camera forever after viewing these photos.

Hopefully someone will be taking pics, we can't afford to hire a pro, with the overwhelming expenses we already have of putting on the race. Like ambulance for 4 days at $1,000.00 per day, lake rental. Hope everyone will show up to help support this race! Just a few days before it happens

Mark,
You might already know this, F. Peirce Williams has been around for years he is a professional award winning photographer. I have followed his magnificent work since the mid 80's
Bio:
F. Peirce Williams has been covering the exciting world of motorsports in the United States and abroad for more than 20 years. A contributing photographer to Powerboat and Road & Track magazines, his work regularly appears on the pages of Autosport, RACER, Autoweek, and other publications around the globe thanks to his affiliation with LAT Photographic Agency. His work has included assignments for commercial clients such as Mercury Racing, Honda Racing, Toyota Motorsports, Ford Racing, Chevy, Infiniti, Acura, and others. Artistic, portrait, and beauty photography also play a role in his career as he continues to split his time between the Midwest and the Jersey Shore. On this site, you will find prints, portfolios of his work, and galleries of images available for rights-managed sales.
a fuel suggestion if you like the high octane fuel, is using a local airport av-gas it is usually a low lead 100 octane and in a lot of places supplied by VP Brand costing about 3.50 to 4.00 bucks a gallon . due to hard to find legal pump gas we have been either bringing our own from my local small plane airport or hitting a smaller airport close to the race site
Matt the real MOD racers use 110 octane! Hotrods won't run on anything less!
Lot's of Stock Outboarders will be in the house.......the clean pump gas($2.57 per gallon) will serve them better than the high octane $12 per gallon VP-110. It is great that Jeff is having race fuel available however in the pits. It is one of those 'little things' that should help make this event a driver friendly race!!
I will post the gas station info once the Stock Winter Nationals conclude and that event moves off the front page of Hydroracer.
I heard Luce has a little something for you at the big event!! And it is not a shot of Patron Silver!!
