Pepsi Joe, our champ from 2019, is back out in front going into SD. With boat attrition many players may have zero or one options left in SD. It will be an interesting finish to the short season.

We will not be reducing boat picks for the season. We realize that there are not enough boats for the 8 picks required for the season but it will effect everyone the same and it wouldn’t be fair to those that choose the 8 and 9 at the first two races of the season. As they say, that is boat racing! Good luck and thanks for playing!

Deck2Deck play is based on U-number as clearly stated in the rules. If you have already chosen the U9 to this point, you can no longer take the U9. If you have not chosen the 9 as yet, you still can as the U8 hull has been renumbered by the Strong Racing Team as the U9 with JMK at the wheel. As such, the U8 is no longer a viable pick for TC, Seattle, and SD but the U9 is available for those races.

Anticipated TC Boat Roster:

U-1 Miss HomeStreet Bank (Shane)
U-3 Griggs Ace Hardware (King)
U-9 Lynx Healthcare/Miss Tri-Cities (Kelly)
U-11 Miss J&D’s (Nielson)
U-40 Miss Beacon Plumbing (Villwock)
U-91 Miss Goodman Real Estate (Bernard)

Good luck and thanks for playing!

The East Coast swing continues as the H1 fleet heads to Madison, Indiana and the tight and rough Wild Bill Cantrell Race Course. The boats will be running under the bridge in a match race “Shootout” format on Saturday and a more traditional heat race format with a final on Sunday. The match race format will provide for one-on-one racing and offer plenty of points to be earned for H1 teams and fantasy players alike. The Indiana Governor’s Cup this coming Independence Day Weekend will feature the following boat roster:

U-1 Miss HomeStreet Bank (Shane)
U-8 Miss Tri-Cities (Kelly)
U-9 Lynx Healthcare (Peabody)
U-11 Miss J&D’s (Nielson)
U-40 Miss Beacon Plumbing (Villwock)
U-91 Miss Goodman Real Estate (Bernard)

HydroDan’s Three 2 Think About:

Silver Takes Gold: The silver U-9 Lynx Healthcare took gold in Guntersville as the U-1 HomeStreet Bank and the U-40 Beacon Plumbing knocked themselves out during the race before the race. Although Peabody and the 9 was not the fastest combination in Alabama, they certainly showed reliability and speed that will come in handy on the tight and long 2.5 mile Cantrell Race Course.

What’s Wrong With Miss Tri Cities?: The U-8 did not look right in Guntersville, displaying noticeable handling issues and a lack of top-end speed. The team thrashed to repair a sponson tip on Saturday and also blew a motor in the final.

Home Cooking: After a disappointing Gold Cup loss, Jimmy Shane will defend his Governor’s Cup crown in front of all 13,000 owners of the The U-1 Miss HomeStreet Bank / Miss Madison. If running on his home water is not motivation enough, perhaps the huge letdown at the first race of the season will be.
