Ottawa Race Photos

[Sam Baker]

Here are some photos from the weekend at Ottawa. Didn't get as many as I'd like since I had to race and back in another boat. It was a blast though. Thanks to everybody who helped put it on.

Glad I went. I wish'd we'd have found the up side of the trim button on several of the passes. But 8.35 was pretty fair for our setup and for Mikes second time driving the boat. We fattened the box too much when we added the Coxoc trying to pick up a few tenths. Should have left it alone :rolleyes: I leaned the bottom end up a bit and I think the boat came out too hard and made it harder to drive , then it fattened and ran like a pig. Bummer:( . But lots of experience learned and it seemed like everybody had a great time. Very fair classes. $100 for 2 days worth of fun. Good purse for all the classes, good community support too. Nice Allisons , Mirages, STV's, Rapidcraft, Hydrostreams . Plus the largest Fountain dealer in the country 30 miles away so there were some cruisers watching downstream. Paper had some nice comments >> http://www.ottawadailytimes.com/news/story.php?storyid=6927

Lots of horsepower there too. Really have to dig those graphics on the squirt boats , very cool :p
Next year I'll bring a nicer tow vehicle instead of the work truck. Thanks again for the photos and the advice.
