1.55 min. | 4.0 user rating		 APBA sanctioned racing in Beloit Wisconsin 1994. Racing action in the D-mod hydro class. I had just rebuilt my engine after an embarassing showing at my previous race. I made some major internal engine improvements. I made no other changes to my setup. The engine work paid off! My engine went from weak to strong. My boat was too fast for me! In the second heat, I went into a turn too fast, I turned the wheel too much and hooked the boat in the turn. Bummer. A bad ending to what would have been a perfect day.
