Todd Haig skiing behind Randy Davis won by a mile after turning the corner in third. About 12 outboards and 21 footers started 7 minutes ahead.

If your talking about the Red one that was Lynch's old boat they sold last year. It was at Mohave during the dam run last October by coincedence.

If it's the same one Todd skied behind last year the Red Fountain those are Brumett motors. :messedup:

That was pretty cool. I usually go watch that race every year since I live 10 minutes from the Queen Mary. Unfortunately I had a wedding to go to last night so getting up that early this morning wasn't happening. :D

Was that Ron's Cig pulling a skier I saw on channel 2?
Hopefully, they'll take some more video next year.

I think they changed it to 43' (no need to cut the beak off anymore).
PS- Found this (http://www.a2xtreme.com/waterski.html) from a couple years ago.

They changed insurance carriers and now it's a 43' limit. Amazing how many high dollar OuterLimits boats are now showing up. Those boats are sick! No more Fountain chopping. Even Team Terrible had a 42' Fountain this year. What the heck was up with the start? According to my watch they started the race at least one minute early. We just got our guys ski's on and on the swim step, I look toward the gate and there go the flares... 400' of race rope out in 20 seconds later (we ran double up), I'm lucky to still have thumbs.
Our aussie skiers were studs and started almost dead last as a result, got nothing but junk water and had three spills. Still finished in 1:31 or so for first in class. Great job Rod and Glenn!
Rudi had an awesome run going, was 8 minutes under the current Masters record, and his boat ran out of gas less than a mile from the finish... Brendon's brand new race line broke 5' off the ski tow at the start... Lot's of fun this year. What a blast.
Thanks for your help last night Dennis!

He woke up this morning with a swollen knee and a broken hand... Pretty sure that wasn't me. Get any good video, chopper boy? How'd Charlie do with the still camera?

I think we got some good pics, kinda hard to tell if they are going to be in focus cause we were shooting through the window. We didn't get any video of you guys going across the finish line because that other chopper was following you. Charlie is going to email me the pics.
He broke his hand? My cheek is still sore from when he accidently elbowed me in the face. :) :) :)

The absolute best was when I told him about the $1100 hat he bought! He called my room at 0230 - "where are you guys?"...
