Spring 2012 SAW event Elizabeth City, North Carolina

[Terry Keeley]

Today looks to be a bust, thunderstorms moved through early this morning and the winds are picking up big time. They're calling for 15-25mph SSW (left to right across the pond) which will trash the water so I don't expect much if any acitivity today (I'm still chillin' at the hotel). Tomorrow looks much better so hopefully I'll be pulling my gear out of the trailer in the morning. Could be an early start on the cocktails this evening....................

Go easy on Terry tonight , we don't need him more messed up than he already is. :lol:

Speed is 225/time!

 

[Andy Greene]

Did the weather play nice today ??? Any news outta E/C yet ??

Andy

 

[Terry Keeley]

Was too choppy most of the day, except for Jerry of course! He upped the A mono a couple mph in chop many heat boats wouldn't run in.

Kently and fellow Canuck Scott Liddycoat (driving the Degree UL this season) ran over the SP40 one way with Scott's scratch built boat.

John Finch came from the sleet in PA and ran his gas sport hydro well over but couldn't back it up in the breeze.

I got high points for the most spectacular crash, many pieces right in front of the judges, yup, I fired the driver.

Hope tomorrow's better water...

 

[Chilli]

Thanks for the video and the update Terry. Tell that tall guy with the white sneakers to get a boat in the water.

Good Luck tomorrow.

 

[Ray Sametz]

Not confirmed, but hear a rumor. John Finch ran 98.5 with a Sport Hydro.
