They are no longer starting outside the Hyatt, last year the start boat and Solo hit the same wreck that the Harbour Master ran up on last week.

[Rallyfignis]

Race is on tommorow starting at the Hyatt....confirmed by Carib (facebook site)

Very odd, up to Wednesday night the powerboat committee told me different...
Can't access YouTube in the office, but search "Offical Great Race 2012" Documentary is just shy of an hour long.

Monster won the Great Race. Congratulations to Solo and Fire One on 2nd and 3rd. !!

[pete]

Solo was way ahead in the gulf.

[brams112]

Solo was way ahead in the gulf.

He stop to buy roti to mix with the red solo Orr what

[slim1005]

yes they were fifteen boat lengths in front by macqueripe, but their boat wasn't trimmed put properly, whereas monster was running flat through the water, so it was only a matter of time before monster passed solo.

How come there wasn't really much hype for the event this year?

Jeeze,those things looking more like flying rockets rather than wave runners.
Only a few months ago a member of the winning team of a few years aback told me about crew members in these races experiencing brief black outs and disorientation when these boats slam into the water after being airborne.
Actually,back problems is not uncommon and many have pulled out overtime due to violent impacts on the body.The impact absorbing seats can only do so much.
One hella of a difficult sport to sustain participation.

Excellent, wonder how fast those boats can make it to venezuela and back?


If dem and coast guard race, who allyuh feel go win?
