I too would like to thank the gang in Whitecourt. You guys always put on a great event at a great facility.
Impact had a great fun year.We had some footage on the rollbar cam (mostly of the back of Sunset Shaker). Can't wait to see the videos Vince.
See you next year.

Well..what a weekend of racing.
First, this was by far the closest racing I have seen yet.
The Sj were neck and neck for the entire 150 miles.
FX had 5 boats racing and all were very close in speed. We had two roll bar cams in FX and definately captured some cool video.
C Class was a cose race also.
B Class.....Magoo and Miss BHaven did battle all weekend. Jesse drove like a man possessed after the incident at the start line and passes every boat except MAgoo who he made up over 1 1/2 minutes on in 3 laps.
A Class was a great race and we managed a great shot of Impact spinning out. Which we got from the ground and from the roll bar cam as well.
Unlimited......Ford Powered says it all
Intro video will be up shortly!
