| I liked watching the race and the boats really looked great. I don't think I'll
miss it much; since it really messed up te fishing for a week or so.

Thanks.
This is good news for those of us who enjoy fishing.
I was "fortunate" enough to be all done fishing an all niter on
Fri and heading back in Sat am when a couple a those wanna be
jet jocks came zipping outta the mouth trashing fishing for
the rest of the week. All fishing was offshore for a while :-(

PS: As much as I dislike them around prime fishing area's
I think there kinda neat to watch......with earmuff's ;^)
PSPS: But as you may notice from my personal name I'd rather
see those twin Allison engines on a P-38 or for those
who like to take a risk one of them on a P-51 ;^)

| 1158.3 | Any updates on the APBA race? (time,location,?) | SALEM::WHYNOT | Malibu Skier | Fri Jun 03 1994 10:25 | 10 |
| Any updates on the race scheduled for this weekend? i.e. Where would a
good vantage point be, on or off the water? (some mountaintop perhaps
:^) Is this going to be taped for ESPN or PRIME?
I saw "Shooters" 40' cat being towed up rt 93 yesterday being followed
by the tractor/trailer" support vehicle. Nice lookin' rigs.
Doug_too many committments this weekend, but maybe a spectator on
Sunday.

| 1158.4 | To answer my own question... | SALEM::WHYNOT | Malibu Skier | Fri Jun 03 1994 13:00 | 8 |
| The race, I was told by Irwin's Marine, will take place on Saturday
from 12:00 to 1:30. The course will be from the tip of Rattlesnake
Island toward Wolfboro and then turn back towards Rattlesnake. So,
I guess a good vantage point might be along the shore between Alton
and Wolfboro, on the penninsula near Wolfboro airport, or perhaps one
of the mountaintops (Mount Major perhaps with bino's?).
Doug_probably won't make it...

| 1158.5 | Brief report from the scene | SKIBUM::GASSMAN | | Tue Jun 07 1994 16:57 | 8 |
| The race was great! I was on the east side of the course, before the
third turn. It was fun to watch the big boats cream the smaller ones
into the turn, then lose it all during the turn. The copter show was
almost as good - as they were filming the leaders and it looked like
they were racing. The weather couldn't have been better. I hope this
becomes a yearly event - but perhaps not too many times per year.

| 1158.6 | Agree - the Helcopter was as good as boats | SEND::STORM | | Wed Jun 08 1994 12:19 | 8 |
| I was there too, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'd never seen a boat
go 130 mph before. I also agree with Bill that the helicopter
show was almost as good at the boats. I guess the ESPN helicopter
would get within 20' of the boats. Having seen the race now, I'd
love to have seen some of the ESPN footage.

You folks are all right! the Offshore races were a real rush. We were
in a 38' Fountain just to the right of the starting line. Boy when
those boats came by you could feel the pounding in your chest! Watching
the Cats setup for the turns was really something. They would come down
on the throttle, setup for the turn, pick a slot and then go for it....
I hope it happens next year too!!!!
