    Default Hotel Rate

    It's Official "Hotel Rate"
    Sorry for the delay, but Ron Desmond was able to finally get some response from the Best Western in Port St Lucie about hotel rates for our race.
    The rate will be $59 per night just like we had gotten for the Nat's last year.
    Even if you have already reserved a room, just tell them (the Manager) that you are here for the Wave Blasters race. You will get that rate.
    Since this is the only decent hotel near the pond that is the only place we have secured a race rate. Here is the address and phone number.

    BEST WESTERN Port St. Lucie
    4.5 star rating 10 user ratings 10 user ratings
    7900 S US Highway 1, Port Saint Lucie, FL 34952
    (772) 878-7600

    I have also attached their promo to describe the hotel and location.
    We now have 20 Racers and 71 boats entered.
    See everyone in a couple of weekends,
    Ken

    Hey Ken,

    I've been trying, but I won't have your tunnel done quite in time for this event. Sorry! It'll be worth the wait, though... it's coming together nicely. :)

    No problem Darin...quality takes time.
    Looks like Michigan might be a great place to give it a try.
    I am getting excited to show-off one of your very fast OPC's.

    Hi Mike,
    Sorry to hear about your sister. I had been keeping this kind of secret,
    but now we can let everyone know.
    We will share some racing another time....for now tend to this loss
    with your Family and relatives.
    We will all say a little prayer for her, and will be thinking of you
    during this coming race weekend.
    Take Care,
    Ken & all of the Wave Blasters

    Default Thanks To All

    Great race weekend.....

    Nice weather, Very good racing, and a lot of fun.
    No real mishaps or issues.
    I just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone
    who attended, and helped make the event a big success.
    Jason Sims won the High Points.
    I will try to post the rest of final results in full here tomorrow.

    I wanted to thank all the sponsors.

    Rum Runner Racing (Don Wollard)
    Aquacraft (Mike Zaborowski & Russ Williamson)
    Castle Creations (Joe Ford)
    Bubblegum racing (Mike Paganelli)
    Offshore Electrics (Steven Vacarro)
    Boca Bearings (Gareth Burrows)
    Coastal Marine Fabrication (Rick Workman)

    The Race Directors,
    Terry Cowger Sr. & Mike Martin did a great job as the have every year.
    The whole Wave Blasters club helped....really amazed me that when I
    Arrived 10 minutes late at 9:10......the entire race site was almost
    completely set-up, great job by all.
    We are all exhausted, but I am sure will have the Shoot-out again next year.
    Thanks Again To All,
    Ken

    Ron,I don't have word doc either,but I was able to view the docs by clicking continue anytime they asked for something that I didn't even know what they were talking about!
    I agree getting the race results should be a lot simpler.

    Hi Ron,
    I have attached them in a PDF file.
    The problem is that these files do not paste

    Hope that helps.

    To All You Waveblasters:

    I was fortunate enough to be in Fort Pierce for the Spring Bash last weekend, and wanted to let everyone know what a great event it was. There were some seriously fast boats there and the competition on the course was fierce, fast and furious.

    I shot about 16 videos of some of the heats, and wanted to get them posted as soon as possible; however I'm still on the road traveling and have lost some valueable time getting them uploaded on youtube. They are in no particular order and hopefully I got most of the classes right. All post and comments are welcome, and now everyone can have a front row seat to the action. Enjoy.

    PS: I was unsuccessful in posting the video direct to here, so the link to each video is the best I could do. Hope it works okay.

    one problem with watching your boats in vids is it shows you how slow you are and how much work you need to do to get it faster lol
