UNLIMITED LIGHT SEMI FINAL RESULTS:
The Unlimited Lights began today's racing
where they left off yesterday, side by side, especially the two
"yellow" boats, Bo Schide's UL-16 Alamo and Charley
Wiggins'UL-10 Earl's Performance Products. Deck-to-deck during
the entire three laps, Bo Schide kept Alamo's nose out front, but
not by much.
Cal Phipps in the UL-23 APEX Laser
managed to take the lead at the start of the race and kept it a three
boat race through the first two laps. UL-72 Impact Equipment
also made a gallant charge towards the front with Randy Haas in the Comp
Air and Steve Kuhr keeping things interesting behind him. Kuhr
did not finish the heat and Wiggins hit a buoy on lap two which resulted
in a one minute penalty.

Charley Wiggins in the UL-10 Earl's
Performance Products Unlimited Light ran a test lap of 120.321 miles
per hour! Given the fact that his boat is automotive powered ... if he
were an Unlimited... where the qualifying minimum is 120 mph...
he'd be qualified for racing with the Unlimiteds this weekend.
UNLIMITED LIGHTS
As for Unlimited Lights, we have the
UL-23 Apex Laser and UL16 Alamo in the pits. The UL10 has been spotted
in the Evansville area... Total UL boat count should be eight for
this event.
