RE: 2nd Annual Michigan City Great Lakes Grand Prix Scheduled events start August 6th – 8th.
from Super Boat International:
JBS Racing slid around the track and after feeling major vibration, Jeff Stevenson, driver, knew something was wrong with the boat as it was acting so erratic. After stopping and seeing the boat was leaking, they knew they were done. Returning to the cranes, the team experienced something rarely seen. The team had snapped the drive shaft off and the very expensive hi-grade prop was stuck in the transom of the boat. “Fiberglass is basically free compared to a $12,000 prop,” comments Skrocki.
The Popeye’s Super Cat, throttled by Stan Ware and driven by Lisa Matthews, experienced a wild rollover at the end of Sunday’s race. Ware did not receive any injuries from the accident but Matthews was transported to South Bend Trauma Center for evaluation and is expected to be released Monday afternoon.
