Bardahl and Weber Win. Series Has New High-Point Leader

I think Lori Weber stated it best when she said, "I think he spent over $50 on that boat!" I believe the response was, as any boat racer would tell you, "It was actually well over $100 and it was well worth it."

Mark Weber, of Team USA - Casper, dominated the first annual Racer Bob Challenge Cup, the secondrace of a Casper-Prop double-header held on beautiful Lake Kosciuszko, with his Green-Dragon Miss Bardahl. The sponsor of the race, of course, is "Racer Bob" Dabrowski, of 2.5 Litre Mod. Inboard fame.

The series also has a new high-point leader, with Scott Dunn's Mariner Too taking a small lead over Mike Millenbach's Checkerboard Bardahl with (we think) one more race left on the schedule.

Things I CLEARLY remember from the race...

  • New bribes...er...sponsors were also introduced to the sport with the addition of the Smirnoff.
  • Racer Bob, as race sponsor, generously offered to pay the travel expenses for race officials.
  • The Harrah's Club being completely under water as it finished the first heat.
  • The Miss Spokane bolting out of the starting gate to win the Consolation Race.
  • Both the winners of the Consolation and Final of the first race (Frostbite) finished last in the second race.

Check out the story and stats for race one, the Frostbite Regatta.
