My uncle Don used to race at the Parker 9 hour Enduro in the 70's. He used to race against Billy Seebold, Bob Massey etc back then. The boats have come along way since then and so beautiful now.
Great idea! The F-Lights & F1 Powerboats are scheduled to race this weekend (August 3 - 5, 2018) in Pittsburgh with Trials on Friday & Saturday afternoons (Noon-4:30) with the races set for Sunday (5:00pm-8:00pm). The early weather forecast calls for 50% chance of rain Friday in the low 80's and partly cloudy in the mid-to-upper 80's on Saturday - Sunday. Ya Gotta Regatta!

Thanks for sharing that Eddie. I try to catch these boat races any time they are in our area, always fun to watch!

If only there could be an official videogame about this!

He said hi to Bill Seebold, greatest racer of all times on the water and did not know that.
...and Bill got recorded by the greatest UA-camr of all time! LOL

Awesome event, wouldn't miss it, wish local sports media would pickup on the reporting and race results.
good...championship..🏄🏄🏎🏎
Unfortunate that the 2019 event got torpedoed and 2020 is now cancelled as well. Hoping it's back in 2021
Billy Seebold walked right up to this dude and he had no idea... mindblowing.
Hope to see him walking around the 3 rivers again soon, since we've missed powerboat races in Pittsburgh for what, two years now? Too long!
What camera did you use to film this race with?
Panasonic HC-V10 on a handheld stick, great little camera that shoots 720HD and has a powerful 70x zoom (with mostly lens).
.
these boats are just distant memories on pgh rivers now
not suitable track so dangerous its under the bridge
Years ago a boat ran up onto the shore in that area (before sea walls were built) but most accidents since then seem to be related to the corners.
