    "Blast from the Past" Lake Ming

    Well, I'm not exactly sure what's going on at Lake Ming this coming weekend July 22-23. I'm told it has to do with some powerboat nostalgia, and well, I'm interested. I haven't heard whether it's strictly a show of sorts or a drag race or what. I would have loved to display, being that I have two N.D.B.A. drag boats from the sixties, but I'm planning on going ( without boats ), to see what's going on. I only was told about this this last week...talk about being out of the loop! Anyway, I'm going Saturday the 23rd, with a friend and driver/owner of a Blown Gas Hydro from that era.....there aren't too many of these boats still around. Anyone out there have an idea what the event is all about?

    Thanks TooManyMustangs. I looked up the Lake Ming Events roster the other day, found the same as you. After also looking up the area code ( Hey Lake Ming, wake up, include the area code), I did leave a message for said John. No return call as of yet. This may turn out to be a cool event, I'll take a camera, maybe post some highlights as I can.

Size:  74.9 KB I returned from the "Blast From the past" event today at Lake Ming. For an event's first time, and having little or no coverage from the internet boat sites, ...by all measure, the crowd turnout was much larger than expected, smoothly run, and a big hit. It was HOT out in Bakersfield, but everyone was enjoying themselves. In attendance were static boat displays, in- water passes, hot rods, bikes, food, music, vendors.....but let me appologise up front, I only took some photos of boats. To start off here......I grabbed some shots of boats leaving the launch area and making flyby passes.

    Here's some photos of SOME of the boats in attendance, as I didn't get a shot of some other really nice boats there. Being an "engine guy", I seem to take a lot of photos of the powerplants.Name:  IMG_3218.jpg
