Lakeland Race/Hooters Girls Pics - 4/14/07

This weekend is the Orange Cup Regatta at Lakeland, FL. The weather was hot (almost 90) and so was the competition.

RC Hawie was hot today in C stock runabout, taking the overall win.

There were a lot of very nice, very expensive racing rigs at Lake Henderson for the race weekend. It was a real honor to meet some of the owners as there were many national champions in attendence.

Ron Hill -- many people said to say hey to you. Apparently you know a lot of people that race the kind of boats that are at Lakeland this weekend. 3 guys in particular (their picture is here) said to say hi. Boy did they have some interesting stories to tell......

More pictures to come.

thanks,

Like I said in the first post, it was definitely extremely hot here today at the races in Lakeland, FL.

The Hooters Girls of Lakeland were on hand at the races to help sell raffle tickets for a charity. A couple of the ladies were kind enough to pose for pictures with the Rinkers Race Team. The Rinkers Race Team is one of the top teams in racing today and although they had problems on the race course today, they were definitely hot in the pits.

Hey Paul....I didn't see that you mentioned anything about Diane carrying an umbrella. You know an aluminum umbrella can cast the proper lighting on the subjects in the photo.

These hydros were so large that they wouldn't fit down the ramp -- so a crane had to lift them over the top of the palm trees and into the water. Talk about flying high.

More pictures to come.

Reply to Wayne's comment:

Yeah, we had one of those umbrellas. Unfortunately, when I started to get a little too close to the Hooters Girls, my wife hit me over the head with the umbrella and broke it. Now I have a big lump and no umbrella. Told you it was hot at Lakeland today. Things were finally starting to cool off, then you had to get Diane hot all over again. Thanks Wayne.

I see Pete Nydal with his OMC V8. How did he do against the Mercs?
