Racing Action Begins – Saturday and Sunday, June 7th & 8th , PWC starting at 10am till 7pm and Hydros and flatbottoms from 12pm - 6pm. Awards Ceremony, Sunday at 6pm.

The lake remains calm and the air continually still... until you hear the first roar, of the first engine as the racers push their starter buttons. In just a matter of seconds they're off, one right after another heading out on to the lake for their warm-up laps. The water starts to ripple as the rumble of the powerful engines echo off the hills and through the Sammamish Valley. The air is electric, and you get tingles as the racers make their first pass by - you feel a rush of wind as they pick up speeds - with some speeds of up to 150mph! Now as they make their final turn up lake and begin their run to the starter's clock, you are on your feet in total wonderment of this awesome sight which is right before your eyes; - those are some of the Northwest's most powerful Hydroplanes running side by side in the duel of their lives.   (Photo by Mark Sharley)

We all remember the Grand Prix Hydros racing- the thunder boats that sound like a race boat. With big block engines and blown super charged engines, there are speeds up to 170mph and tight racing action to be seen with the big bright boats!!!
