First few laps of the final heat of the 2008 Columbia Cup just after the video ended Jean Theoret of the U-37 yellow Miss Beacon Plumbing threw a prop and Steve David in the red and green U-6 Oh Boy! Oberto won the race
This was the second time I've been to Tri-Cities in my life first time was when i was about 7 and i could never remember being able to get so close to the boats when they were racing. I'm from the Seattle area but Tri-Cities basically ruined Seafair for me because you cant get nearly as close to the boats there (unless of course you had tons of money and had a boat thats sitting on the log boom at seattle). Seafair is good for partys but if u really wanna see the boats Tri-cities is way better.
Maybe we can meet and say hi there. I posted a vid from last year yesterday "Hydroplane Race - Columbia Cup". I have a few more I am going to post also.
