Back home after a day at the Lake Race.



The final was really fun to watch..Pole sitter Dylan Anderson in his #17 Hoffman/Yamaha V6 was in the lead and stayed ahead of Terry Rinker.



About one third in the race Dylan barrel rolled in some large waves at the far end of the race course.
#10 veteran Terry Rinker lead the way after the restart to an easy and well deserved win.




The winner of today’s NGK F1 race.
#10 Terry Rinker.
Congratulations

Race results…
1. Terry Rinker 10
2. Johnny Flemming 9
3. Spencer Love 24

There is an emptiness in me at today's outboard racing..
OMC did supply racing outboards up to the last day in business. (SST45 - SST60 & some other engines.
BRP did not care one cent for racing.
This makes today's racing a bit boring for us Evinrude/Johnson lovers.
Tim Seebold is normally running the SST45 class as a support racing class in the NGK F1 Series.
The 2021 NGK F1 series here at Lake of the Ozarks was a last minute deal and with only one day allowed for racing, cuts must be done.
No SST 45 but the popular heavy duty TriHulls was run. All TriHulls are using older style OMC V4 1632cc cross-flow.
Some holes are drilled in the mid section for better sound. Extremely fun to watch..They drive like there is no tomorrow..bumping in to each other around the turns.
The #9 TriHull is raced by Whittney Terry Fletcher of Texas..and she was the winner. A tough girl..don't mess with her..

If I were a promoter on a limited budget and time, the ONLY class I would choose to invite would be these marvelous Texas tri-hulls.
- Cheap equipment price.
- OMC V4 powered (lots and lots of fishing motors out there)
- Intense racing, hull-to-hull, trading paint, etc
- Easy for spectator to identify with home product (Tri Hull and V4 fishing motor)

This class reminds me of USA mid west open wheel dirt track guys.

It’s time to bring this back up again..!!

227 Km/h average over one lap.

Not just straight forward..!!..
(like part of the distance Pavia to Venice)

Benny Robertson´s record setting 141 MPH qualifying lap in his #57 SE/Johnson F1-V8 put him on the pole..
