Competition attacks U-13 web site!

The first race of the 2007 season began for the U-13 the same way the 2006 season ended last year in Seattle. Sponson damage and damage to the rear right upright was incurred by driver J. Michael Kelly prior to the start of heat 1B in Evansville this afternoon. While still in the 5 minute milling period prior to the heat the U-13 while holding lane 2 took a heavy hit to the right sponson from the U-6 Madison boat driven by Steve David. The incident appeared some what similar to Tri Cities last year. In spite of the damage to the right sponson and upright J. Michael continued to start the 3 lap heat finishing a poor 5th place. The damage will be repaired and the U-13 will be ready for the final racing day in Evansville.
