Excellent weather greeted race fans for the 23rd installment of the Thunder on the Narrows powerboat races, which were held at the Kent Island Yacht Club (KIYC) June 22-23. Temps in the middle 80s and a light five-knot breeze from the west created great conditions for the Jersey Speed Skiff and 1.5 Litre Stock Summer Nationals on Saturday and a huge spectator crowd assembled both on land and at sea with more than a hundred boats lining Hog Bay during the races. Sunday was less ideal, as a bit of rain dampened the race course, but the race committee managed to still get some heats off.
Below are a few sample images from that fine day of racing--PropTalk was out in the crowd of spectator boats and also on land and in the water taking picture of the water-shredding racing action. Click here to view photos of the races and click here to view photos of the crowds.
