Need more space? Anyone remember Silver Springs State Park in Yorkville, Illinois? Gary Pruesse would run his 40 hawk so far down in the right corner till you couldnt see the wake anymore, turn it around, and do 95MPH for a good 700 feet. I miss that pond like my high school girlfriend. Fox Valley Model Boaters was the club, the last few years we(Minute Breakers) helped out then FVMB perminantly dispand. In the mid 90's there was nobody faster than Gary, and he did it all with his 20 and 40 hydros. What was more amazing was with the exception of his front sponson change, those 90mph 20&40 boats and engines were the same ones he'd race every weekend. How many people can say that nowadays?
Anyways Yorkville Illinois is best SAW site Ive ever seen. With me on this Keeley? I know you were the the last few years, anyone else?

I was at the last couple. yep it sure was a blast to watch gary go through the traps!
our last event ever at the lake was a 2 day event. Saturday was a record trial, sunday was the race. sounded like a super cool idea to me..... but very few came on saturday.
Sure miss that lake
