Little Change of Pace in SoCal
« on: January 09, 2010, 10:24:44 PM »
Hey the weather has been beautiful here and the locals have this tradition of having a memorial boat run every January for a fellow drag boat racer who died a few years ago. Today was the day and a few folks showed up in a place called Silicon Cove which was named after the young ladies who don't have their t-shirts where they belong. I was on patrol and when asked if they could drag race in the cove, I said it didn't matter to me as long as they didn't make a wake (and I didn't run out of beer). Here is a shot of the cove at about 10:00am.  Doc

Are these jet or prop boats?

These were all jet boats, the water is too shallow here for props. The prop guys use the high speed zone in the middle of the lake.  Doc
