The Boats are in the order they came in. Im not sure of the times and there were a helluva lot of boats! Great weather today. The only part that sucks is there isn't many places to dock.
Terribles had (I think) a total of 4 boats in the water. Including their yacht. I think they had a bag of silver dollars as an anchor.
Enjoy. Sorry that they arent the best of quality.

What was the winning final time and speed?
Good pix BTW.
Not sure. I pulled out and left.We will have to wait and see. Eyewitness news copter was there, so it could make the news here in LA.

[Keyser]

That was on ok beggining with a JUICY ENDING!! :)

[boatsnblondes]

As usual, you saved the best for last.....where are the vectors and schiadas like in the old days????

[XtrmWakeborder]

It was a pretty good race today. I thought the gone again skier would have taken it, but i think he fell back to 4th after leading into the turn. I can't believe Haig "if thats how you spell his name" started 2nd to last and pulled it off. That guys the man.

[RitcheyRch]

Nice pictures and thanks for sharing.

[dossangers]

I think the winning time was 53.11 Todd started 72nd 1 engine wouldnt fire they almost gave up! Todd made his pass right at the queens gate he was hauling the MAIL 6 time winner IRON MAN!!!

[Hallettmom]

Been looking all over for race results.
We didn't get up in time today.. dangit!
Go Todd go, so he won again then?!
We pulled Todd Haig way back when in the early 90's with our
26ft Sleek Craft when he was just a teenager! Long time family friend..glad he did the win again. He is on top of his game.
Sheesh ~ he was in Parker last weekend as well.
Thanks for sharing~

I usually go to the race but had some friends in (ShowsumSkin) from out of town!! However I saw A LOT of the boats cruzing by as I was sitting on the beach in Newport!!! :) :)

[Trailer Park Casanova]

how fast do they usually go, average mph?
It's approx 46 miles round trip with a 53 minute winning time.
That is hauling ass,, and a skier is mad at the world if they fall.

We had a blast again this year. Our skier, Glenn Evans, came over again from AUS and his racing partner took ill, so we switched from Double Up to Vet Mens (we missed you Rod!). Glenn then twisted his back really bad in training, and Sat morning he was hurting so bad he could hardly get into the boat. Lost his wrap on the way back but saved it - what a stud you are Glenn! Congrats on the Vet Mens win.
I've got a bunch of pics to go through from the boat angle... :)
1 of the 4 Terrible race boats entered. This is the 40 Hallett...

Here's the Hallet and the new 42' Outer Limits...

They also had a 21' F1 boat and the 38' flat deck entered. Then the 540 Hallett comes in after the race. Lotta red shirts around the place! Didn't see the big yacht though.
Here's our crew at the license drop.

75' Sunseeker Start Boat. Thanks again Joel!

I'm pretty sure that they never intended the intercoms to be used for singing beer drinking songs during the race, kids... :)

Nice shots of the boats :rolleyes: they almost get more attention than the skiers :cool:

[SUI-CY-COLE]

cool pics...is that the queen mary in the background?

[Riverkid]

Yes. The race starts between the oil islands inside the breakwater, runs to Avalon where you go around the turn boat there and then come back to finish at the stern of the Queen...
