We've had lots of boats hit the water today! Jean Theoret took the U-37 Beacon Plumbing took a stroll around the course. The U-16 Elam Plus just came back in to the dock with Dave Villwock at the helm after turning 143mph. The hometown favorite, U-1 Oh Boy! Oberto has been out several times with speeds around 153mph. J. Michael Kelly, the new driver of the U-7 , took his boat out hitting speeds of 149mph to 152mph. Jeff Bernard now has the U-5 Formula out on the course!

Don't forget about Pole Position Friday coming up from 3-5pm! I'll be posting here and on the Forum as soon as speeds are known!

If you haven't checked the weather forecast for Madison lately, bring rain gear! While the temps are now supposed to be in the low 80s there's a chance of rain both Saturday & Sunday.

Boats began pulling into Madison yesterday! The Formula team showed up in time to head to dinner. Watch out for more action today as teams start getting setup for the Regatta!
And don't forget to check Hydropage all weekend long for updates! There will be updates in the Forum, as always, as well as here on the main page!

For those of you that can't wait for the Madison Regatta this weekend, head over to the Hydropage Archive page and take a look at some of the awesome photos from the past few years! Gotta Regatta!

Lots of stuff happening in the lead up to the first race of the season in Madison! The highly anticipated return of the U-16 Miss Elam Plus with driver Dave Villwock at the helm will try to wrestle the National Championship out of the hometown team, the current U-1 Oh Boy! Oberto, driven by Steve David. The FormulaBoats.com team recently said goodbye to driver Mike Allen and hello to driver J. Michael Kelly, formerly of the U-13. Formula also has a new Crew Chief in John Rice!

It is with great sadness that I have to pass along this news...Terry Troxell has passed away of a massive heart attack.. Our condolences go out to the Troxell family and friends. The family has not yet confirmed plans for a memorial service.

Where does the time go and where should I start?! So much has been happening lately after a quiet few months.

First off, it looks like the race in Evansville WILL happen after all! It is slated for August 21-23. Check out the Thunder on the Ohio site here!

The FormulaBoats.com team let driver Mike Allen go just a couple of weeks ago. Hydropage wishes Mike all the luck in finding a new ride! In his place the team has brought in J. Michael Kelly. Should be an interesting combo having 2 "young guns" gunning for their team. We wish J. Mike lots of luck in his new ride...just watch out for that front straight in Detroit!

The Formula team has also appointed John Rice to Crew Chief of the U-7! Congrats to John!

If you haven't checked out the ABRA site lately, head over there and see the tour of the team shops! Some great photos in the tour organized by Jim Simpson. Thanks to ALL of the photogs that took the time to contribute to this!

U-5 & 7 Tour

U-37 Tour
U-48 Tour
And the U-3 Tour should be up in the next day or so!

As you can see from the schedule to the left, the Doha, Qatar race appears to be on with some teams already commited to going. From what I understand most teams won't be able to take the entire team, but enough to run the boats.

Have your say at the Hydropage Forum! Let us know what you think!
