2008 Florida Speed Week
|
April 10, 2008
Following a long winter, the US Title Series opened its 2008 season with fantastic racing of the course of back-to-back weekends in central Florida. Each race featured a good turnout of competitors; especially give the high cost of gasoline. Many new boats and engines made their inaugural runs at these races.
The third annual Thunder in the Hills Regatta moved to Lake Hernando this year, a move which proved popular with the competitors, fans and local sponsors. We could not have asked for better weather, although a strengthening wind on Sunday afternoon cut the show short by 1 heat for the final flight classes. Teams took advantage of the beautiful weather Friday to conduct considerable testing. The warm, crisp air resulted in many piston sticks as teams attempted to fine tune carburetion for maximum performance. While making a practice run in her new 125cc hydro, Amy Nydahl got a little light turning into the breeze and her Pugh hydro suddenly became a kite. Fortunately, Amy was unhurt and the boat was ready to compete the following day. Team MJR was busy testing two now laydown hydroplanes that feature European “O” racing design concepts. These boats are going to be very competitive in the coming season and for the UIM Championships in October. Chris Hellsten continued to dial-in his Italian Mostes haul and will be particularly challenging in rough water this year. With a large turnout of K PRO’s, the kids got in some valuable test time late in the afternoon.
Many teams took advantage of an invitation from the Elks Club located adjacent to the pit area to enjoy a nice dinner and a few drinks.
