F€£king Wind

[28eliminator]

We were really bummed they couldn't finish the races in Havasu. The wind was pretty flat Friday. Sat am once it started to blow I think everyone knew it wouldn't stop.

Very disappointing for the racers and teams who made the expense to show up ready to race only to be let down by the wind.

I would imagine a lot of them are questioning coming back next year. Which is a shame because the venue is amazing.

The venue is awesome, and I'm afraid your right. The wind will make the LODBRS a thing of the past (not a very long past I might add). Too bad, but with the typical springtime winds, I don't think it had much of a chance.

Drag racing in Thompson Bay will always be an iffy situation -- unpredictable wind and controlling boat traffic and on-water spectators are big challenges. Maybe it's time for Havasu to get serious and think about constructing a "real" marine stadium for boat racing, PWC events and even professional wakeboard competitions. It appears that Arizona Parks is beginning to consider development of Contact Point with a new marina, launch ramp and boat storage. Maybe the Park Service and the City could think a little bigger than just a launch ramp and marina and build a multiple purpose stadium that would generate significant long-term revenue for the City, Park Service and local businesses. Just a thought.
