Chico Classic

MHRA's 2006 season kicked off with the Chico Classic, held at Black Butte Lake on May 6th and 7th. The wind was very light on Saturday, with only one race held. The wind picked up just enough on Sunday to get in four more races. Racing was especially tight in Division 2, with only four points separating the first place boat from the fourth place boat! Results are posted here.

Andy Cominos helped out on the chase boat, and took lovely photos, some of which are included below (click on thumbnail for full-size picture).
