moparmagiclives Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Did anyone attend the hydroplane races this past weekend? 85 and breezy, couldn't have been better. My 8 year old and I went down on Saturday, what a little trooper. He was all smiles after he got to pick out a hat. "oh boy oberto" three time champ hat. The f-16 at the half time air show was pretty cool too !! A mock 1 pass just past sonic speed over the river really got a rise out of him. Anyone who is within an hour or two from Richland, I totally recommend it !!! Best $15, 6 hour event I've spent in a long time.
Erik Smith Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Glad it was a hit. I am a couple hours from the Tri-Cities but haven't really been into hydroplanes for about 25 years or more. Maybe I'll take the kids some year.

moparmagiclives Posted July 31, 2012 Author Posted July 31, 2012 That's very cool, I seen her in Idaho a few years back on display at a big resort. Then got to watch her run last year. It was the first time I had seen a v12 actuly run on the water. Pretty neat to say the least. Next year I will have to make it to the pits.
