<< < (2/2)

Reklaw:
Hi Nick. I'm going both days. Can't work out the Agenda from the promoters site, so going both days to make sure I catch the action. If you and Admin are going Sunday, give me a call at the venue and we can catch up for a chin wag.

Sorry Bob, did not see this until now.  Was there on Sunday

Here is a video of highlights of Sundays events

Note to self:  When shooting with a 400mm lens use a tripod or shoulder mount.  LOL!!

Available in high definition on for those with fast enough connection speed

Video is 18 minutes long so watch your down load caps if you are on a small plan.

Thanks for the vids and sorry we didn't catch up.
IMHO boat racing, especially at this level, is an under rated spectacle.
There's no other motor sport I know of where you can have 5 or 6 540 or more Cubic Inch Blown Alcohol fed engines doing about 8,000 revs go past you at 160 MPH at the same time. You just have to see it, hear it, feel it to appreciate what it's about. I'm willing to forgive the organisers for the late start and the breaks between races, the action made up for it.

Now I'll get off my soap box.

I'm with you on that one.  I use to go to Deep Water all the time before it died.

I thought the venue at Penrith was great, bar the walk from the car park. LOL!!

It was their first time there and I thought they did quite well considering.  If they continue to have it there it will only get better with time as they find there feet.  I would definitely go again.
