Fantastic weekend spent at the Cinci TT. Weather on Sunday was perfect for fuel boats with cool air and little wind. A big thanks to Troy, TJ, Mario and Mark Scott for setting up the coarse, running the clocks and replacing what must have been a record number of balloons for a single event. I only brought one boat but managed to burn almost 2 gallons of fuel and bent a handful of turnfins trying to get a F-Hydro around the small 1/4 mile course.

I took a bunch of video's of Chris Grim's record setting 20 and 40 hydro, but need to upload them to YouTube once I get home. Looking forward to Mario's pics and video's too.

Thanks again guys, always a great trip up to run fast boats and see friends.
