Big thanks to everyone that helped put on the races this spring. Here's some videos from the races.

Wished the water level would have been down, made for a sketchy pass in the near lane. Hopefully they'll do it again this year.
 
Just a couple of things, any idea what these boats were turning, top end? Are they running against the flow, some seemed like they were running pretty low speeds, maybe I'm comparing some with 40's vs 300's.
 
We raced up river and it was flooded so that hurt top end numbers. I'd guess the first couple 40/28hp were running around low 30's give or take. There was one 40/28 that was probably pushing high 30's. The flame boat with the 60/40 Johnson was probably running mid 40's. The 90hp class up to the V4 class only had one hot v4 it was probably running mid 40's. It actually beat the 60/40 but had motor problems so the 60/40 went up to the 150hp class. From there those boats are 50mph plus. You can probably add 2-3mph to those numbers on a lake or calmer waters.
