Eric Hamber Eternal Dragons?  Maybe she's happy because nobody checked her ID at the gate.

Now that another Alcan's come to an end, I'd to shout out to all the teams for the weekend full of racing. Very Happy Congratulation to both FCRCC teams and Ika for putting up a dominant effort in the races pocketing the hardware. I also would like to give credit to Master of Dragonzone, Sudden Impact Black, Air Canada Jetstart, and Los Angeles Racing Dragons for their effort and competitive spirit. Although the competition field does end up being smaller this year than last year, it was still a blast racing nonetheless. (Admittedly, a certain heat and its need for multiple re-races was quite the delay on Saturday.)

No foureyes, she is the coach of Eric Hamber Eternal Dragons, and she is definitely an adult.

Wow.  Another great tournament!  Thanks to everyone that was involved in putting the festival together.  As usual, you guys did great!

Our caller was wearing a headcam during Guts & Glory.  Most of us watched the footage last night and it's simply amazing.  Phil wants to spice it up a bit before he releases it.

The footage is amazing - we aren't the fastest team in the world so there were boats all around - some passing us, ramming us, and some being overtaken by us.

It was a great Festival!
Although I did not get much (if any) of a chance to see it I thought it was a blast with some good racing and the chance to see old friends  (isn't that what its all about!)
Too busy Saturday to get the old Cannon out but managed to sneak it on the boats for some shots.
Sorry they are not as artistic and Kewl and Blizzy's (Awesome shots (and camera...drool)) but I do what I do with my broken camera (Thanks Tim.....Grrrr)
Enjoy!
Hope to be getting more shots in the next few festivals (I don't have to work those!Yeehaah, Beer garden here I come!)




Nice Lean!

Correction in Picture
The steersman in uniform is FLIGHT CENTRE - not translink.
They did well in Rec B Consolation in only their 2nd year of racing.
