Glenn Quarles will likely post the results here as soon as the dust settles. Many FE records were broken this weekend, and my friend Jerry Crowther set a new gas mono record too!

Any news?

I will say that it was an outstanding event, with a great venue, fine weather and water on Saturday and Sunday, and of course the barbeque was to die for. I told Jason I'd drive the 12+ hours just to eat his food, and I meant it!

When the spray settled there were at least 20 new records on the books, many of them set more than once by several different racers. The fastest FE boat in the IMPBA is now an 18-cell hydro, the fastest mono is a 32-cell Seaducer, the fastest......you get the idea. I'm waiting for Glenn to post the official results, I may not have the most updated list since we were setting records right up until dark on Sunday. The record books are now populated by a host of different names, and that's good. Congratulations to everyone who attended, it was so much fun to be there!

As far as I know here is a video of the 32 cell mono during one of the record runs

Have fun watching.

BTW- I am a bit jealous seeing the conditions on this great lake

Congradulations to all of the contestants it looks like you had some very good water. Glen and Jason do put on a great event.

I would like to sincerely thank everyone who attended the trials. I would also like to thank all of our sponsors for backing the event. This is the first time trial in which we had any substantial funding, and it makes all of the difference in the world. I've always wanted to improve the site, but have never had the funds to do it. I would like to install permanent power pedestals at some point, and possibly build a BBQ pit, among many other things to improve the quality of the site.

Glenn and I have always tried to make everyone feel at home. Atmosphere is a big part of any trials, and we strive to make it as relaxed and fun as possible. After all, when the sun goes down on Sunday, you've got nothing but the memories.

I hope everyone had a great time, and I can assure you that things will only get better from here. We appreciate the patronage.

Regards, JOB

Guys, I just finished going through the record applications last night and will post the official results this evening. We had 23 FE records and 2 gas records! Like Jay said, this was a FANTASTIC event and I can't wait for Speed Week IV and FE III.

It was even better in person. The boat was beautiful, perfect trim and it looked like it was strainin' to have the driver drop the reigns and let her have her head!

 

[bzubee]

Guys, here are the results from Valdosta this past weekend. I have to say that this was by far the most impressive record trial I have ever been associated with. You FE guys put on a good showing! Add that to the great weather and Jason’s cooking and it was nothing short of awesome! Thanks guys!
