Congrats to FODB aka Steamrollers and Roli!

Steamrollers will definately not be an "unknown" team after this year's performance.

That 2000m race was CRAZY!!!!

The Roli Dragons and Steamrollers also had... *ahem* a collision at the east side corner.

The Steamrollers had the inside line, and as we pulled up alongside, our steers guy veered straight into the boat, then straightened out at the last minute.  It was gunnel to gunnel there.

Some of the Roli guys were joking I instructed you guys to take us out haha, but in actuallity, Steamrollers had the right of way.  

Steamrollers ended up placing a very respectable 14th out of 18 teams.

The Roli Dragons placed 5th overall.  It sure felt like last place to me though.

The race winning time was around 10 minutes.  whew.
