RE: Queenstown gas boat races
Here is Insane's booth. Took a few pictures before my camera died. Spent most of my time with Insane's owner Jeff???, brainfarting here....and Remy from Aeromarine. Showed off his new rigger and the prototype hydro which was on display.
Yes, that is aNEMESIShull you see in picture #2. We were discussing it and it was requested to bring it to the booth. Recieved lots of nice feedback from the racers there

RE: Queenstown gas boat races
Thanks for the coverage Scott, I'm uploading the videos now.
It's too bad that Remy's webcast didn't work well. It was buffering constantly early on I think before you left, went offline then came back on for a few minutes working well before it finally bought the farm. Kudo's to them for giving it a shot though.

I asked Remy about the problems he was having, just kept saying he lost the feed. Iarrived there late in the morning, however got my fill of the action for the day. I could have taken more pictures, but I was reading my battery gauge basically in reverse and lost power after thoes short video clips. Just glad to capture the little that I was able to. Sorry I didn't get more, but I think thoes racing clips gives you an idea of the weekends event.

RE: Queenstown gas boat races
Hey Scott!
I went on Saturday...It was Great! I was there till about 4:30...I left just after John Finch's misfortunate incident with his rigger on his last winning lap. If you were there, you probably remember that one...what a shame!!! I sat way down at the end, inbetween the last two pit canopies. I had my Coleman chair and plenty of water...It was warm!
I talked to "Pop"(with DelmarvaModelBoats) while he was marshalling on the first turn for anyone cutting the bouys...He was really a nice man...He also lives in Milton and works at the Base. Any relations to you guys?
Well here's a few more pics to add...probably not as good as the ones already posted...
