Just home from the lake and wanted to give a brief overview of the 2008 Northwest Scale Hydroplane Championship race. We had 30 1/8 Scale Boats, 10 Classic Thunderboats and 12 Miss Vegas Boats. The weather was absolutely perfect, cool and no wind. We had

racers from Canada, New Zealand, California and Evansville representing NAMBA, APBA and IMPBA. The racing was especially clean with very few penalties being called. OK you just want to know who won ---- 1/8th Scale -Kirk Maupin driving his very fast 77-Esquire. Classic Thunderboats- David Newton with his Miss Tempo 7 -- Miss Vegas class Nick Wiest driving a very fast boat… Please
