It just seems like the racing boats have a big following of fans and deserve a venue on the lake.

As I've mentioned before, how about one 10-mile stretch of the lake open to racing every Sunday morning but just from 8-am to noon, for only FOUR HOURS, and that could become a go-to venue for fast boaters and spectators in smaller boats. Most days, the lake is the most calm in the mornings, and that would be the best time suitable for high speed motor-boating.


Just picture this......"Ladies & Gentlemen, the time is now 8-am so it is time to start your engines......budda-boom-boom-boom-rrrrrrrr-zzzzzz......the smell of two-stroke oil.....and the whiney buzz of a two-stroke, turning round & round..... at 6000-rpm ....... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!"




Sounds pretty good when taken in small doses....don't it! Four hours out of the whole week would be a nice compromise.....what the heck....let the lake go speed-noise-crazy on Sunday morning for a FAST FOUR HOURS when most everyone is either asleep or at church or too hung-over and won't even notice it.

If that don't make sense to you, then how's about for just three hours, say, from 9-am to noon? It could be a very fast, fun, three hour go-to venue for racers and spectators. Just imagine sitting off by the side of the track, out on the broads nears Steamboat Island someplace, and watching a blurr of speed, color and noise roar down onto your little area from 8-miles away......way up in Wolfeboro...... rooster tails seen through the 12 x 50 binocs that get closer and closer.......zooooooooooooooom! Big fast boats have been roaring up and down the lake since the 1930's so it's a well established Lake Winni tradition! Setting up a time slot from 8-am to noon....would give it a time, place and home for both the big speed boats and the big speed boat fans......rrrrrrrrrrrrrzzzzzzzz! Lots of folks would probably just like to be spectators, and set out on the water and spectate the fast boats....just like down at the Nascar track.

By golly FLL I think you're onto something. No 150 ft rule, no speed limit, just Zoooooooooooooom!!!

Just like this:
