Play-by-play coverage for Saturday
Unlimited Lights
Final
It was an amazing sight as eight Unlimited Lights powered down to the
start/finish line for the start. The UL-38 Security Race Products and the
UL-110 Freddie's Club presents Miss CompAir pushed forward to the early lead
over the UL-72 Budweiser/Pocket Mechanic. It was a close start and there
was concern that the two leaders may have jumped, but by the second lap we had
heard it was a clean start. Regrettably,
the UL-38 Security Race Products was assessed a one lap
penalty for lane encroachment and went from the front of the pack to the back. As
this was all sorting itself out, the UL-72 found a burst of speed and powered to
the lead passing both the UL-38 and the UL-110. This change established
the order that would hold through the final. Your
order of finish:
1st - UL-72 Budweiser/Pocket Mechanic
2nd - UL-110 Miss CompAir presents Freddie's Club Casinos
3rd - UL-3 Broadmoor RV
4th - UL-17 Johnsonville Brats presents Ted's Red Apple Market

Unlimited Lights Heat 2B
It looked as if Phil Bononcini and the UL-72
Budweiser/Pocket Mechanic had this one wrapped up from the start. That
turned out to be anything but the case as Doug Brow and the UL-3 Miss Broadmoor RV
screamed forward into striking distance for the lead. At about the
half-way point in the race, both the UL-3 and the UL-17 Johnsonville Brats presents Ted's Red Apple Markets
had closed with the UL-72 and we had the making of a solid race for first.
The UL-17 was a bit back from the two leaders, but we enjoyed quite a sight as
all three hulls came through the turns close to each other. In the end,
the UL-72 brought home its second heat victory of the day. Your
order of finish:
1st: UL-72 Budweiser/Pocket Mechanic
2nd: UL-3 Broadmoor RV
3rd: UL-17 Johnsonville Brats presents Ted's Red Apple Market
4th: UL-20 Overtime
DNF: UL-15 Graham Trucking

Sickelsteel Crane
Unlimited Lights Heat 2A
It was a good start as the UL-38 Security Race Products jumped out to an early
lead with the UL-110 Miss CompAir presents Freddie's Club Casinos just off his
hip in second. The UL-136 Sanders Racing and the UL-21 LizardTech trailed
the leaders. Exiting the first turn on the second lap, the UL-21 went down
and was not able to restart. From there the UL-110 remained in striking
range of the UL-38, but was unable to contest the lead. A last minute
UL-110 switch to the inside lane offered a challenge, but was not enough to
change the order of finish. Your
order of finish:
1st - UL-38 Security Race Products
2nd - UL-110 Miss CompAir presents Freddie's Club
3rd - UL-136 Sanders Racing
DNF - UL-21 Lizard Tech

Graham Trucking Unlimited
Lights Heat 1B
At the start the UL-72 Budweiser/Pocket Mechanic
and the UL-38 Security Race Products pulled ahead but remained an early
duel. This race between these two hulls would hold throughout the heat
with the UL-38 making up ground on the straight-aways and the UL-72 holding the
lead with solid lane one turns. Early in
the race Randy Haas in the UL-110 Miss CompAir presents Freddie's Club dueled
for third with Nick Badolato in the UL-21 Lizard Tech. As they raced the
pirate flags of the Seafair Pirates flapped from the back of the UL-21. A
fun sight on the course. Given a bit time, the UL-110 pulled away from the
UL-21 and established a solid hold on third. In
the end, the UL-72 Budweiser/Pocket Mechanic took the win in Heat 1B. Your
order of finish:
1st - UL-72 Budweiser/Pocket Mechanic
2nd - UL-38 Security Race Products
3rd - UL-110 Miss CompAir presents Freddie's Club
4th - UL-21 Lizard Tech
DNS - UL-23 Index Home Systems The UL-23
Index Home Systems team was still firming itself up for competition at the start
of this heat. The team lost an engine last weekend and built a new one
over the last few days. They brought the engine into the pits last night
and got it into the hull this morning. With a bit more work, we should see
the UL-23 in competition later today.

Graham Trucking Unlimited
Lights Heat 1A
At the start the UL-17 Johnsonville Brats presents
Ted's Red Apple Markets jumped to the early lead in the first lap with the UL-3
Miss Broadmoor RV off the lead. Following the two leaders was a tight
battle for third between the UL-136 Sanders Racing, UL-15 Graham Trucking and
UL-20 Overtime. On the second
lap, Doug Brow (UL-3) closed with the leader (Rick Bridgeman and the UL-17) and
took over the lead. Both were jumping across the water as they crossed the
start/finish line and kept up a fierce battle into the turn. As the two
boats exited the turn the battle was decided. Doug Brow's UL-3 picked up a
buoy and lost a lap as it remained with the boat as she rounded the course. At
the finish the UL-20 and the UL-15 were deck-to-deck with the UL-20 Overtime
pulling ahead at the line. Your order of
finish:
1st - UL-17 Johnsonville Brats presents Ted's Red Apple Markets
