25.01.2022 Bank acc details for everyone.

25.01.2022 Awesome photos by Liam Gibson. Chris Wakefield nephew

24.01.2022 Race 1 90/105mph.

24.01.2022 This great picture taken by Bob Hughes shows how far (or how high) hydroplane drivers can go to win a race. In 2018, Rémy Leblanc and his Hydro 350 boat "Allard...Ménard" H-799 were not even close to touching the water on the Niagara River at the North Tonawanda Regatta in HRL. Cette photo spectaculaire de Bob Hughes montre jusqu'où les pilotes d'hydroplane peuvent aller pour gagner une course. Rémy Leblanc et le "AllardMénard" H-799 de classe Hydro 350 sont loin de toucher à l'eau sur ce cliché capté en 2018 aux Régates HRL de North Tonawanda (N.Y.).

If we could all have this ready it will make scrutineering go so much quicker and smoother.Also dont forget to have all of your safety gear out as well Life jackets bright coloured helmet long sleeve shirts and pants and closed in footwear.BRING ON RACEDAY!!!!
