Today Formula boats came to our lake to do a little photo and PR work. They came in celebration for their unlimited hydroplane winning the US1 title this year. They brought over as whole bunch of beautiful equipment, all 1st class and state of the art! They came with 2 unlimited hydros(U1, & U5), 2 385 Fastech boats, a 24' boat, a 40' ss, along with some smaller support vehicles. It was a cold (40 degrees) and windy(20 mph), overcast day. They launched the U1 boat and then Vic Porter(Formula's owner), followed behind in a 38' Fastech hull with twin 700sc Mercs. They both made passes around a small course. They raced down the front straightaway several times at speeds probably 90-100. What an awesome site! Formula's are built about 30 miles away in Decatur, In and they often bring boats over to run but today was just incredible seeing Porter running along side his champion unlimited boat!
