2nd: 1966 Gale's Roostertail, Dray Newton

3rd: 1957 Miss Wahoo, Rachael Newton

​

Brady showed the way with the modern-style hull over the two roundnoses, and used the superior speed of the Oberto to take his first victory in R/CU. Dray Newton beat out his mother, Rachael, to take second place!

Gas Scale Consolation

1st: 1978 Miss Mark and Pak, Jim Whyte

2nd: 1994 Smokin' Joe's, Conner Henriksen

3rd: 1962 Miss Bardahl, Ken Boyle

4th (DNF): 1985 Coor's Light, Jeff Griffin

5th (DNF): 1974 Lincoln Thrift, Dave Englehart 

​

Jim Whyte opted to take his points boat in the consolation as opposed to his second boat that was in the final. It proved to be a smart risk for the moment, as he collected the victory to advance to the final as the trailer.​

5th (DNF): 1977 Charlie's Girl, Mike Henriksen

6th (DNF): 1969 Pride of Pay'n Pak, Ken Olson

​

Henry's Miss Houston might have had a slight pace advantage in this heat on the front line, but Paxton took the early lead in lane one and drove a clean race to hold off Henry. Mike Henriksen was looking great going into the final as well, but the Charlie's Girl stuffed in the left turn in a roostertail to collect a DNF. It was Paxton's first gas scale victory of the year, and the third race winner in the class.

1st: 1978 Miss Mark and Pak, Chuck Murray

7th (DNF): 1982 Atlas Van Lines, Marc Connelly

​

The Mini-Czar made it four victories in six races thus far, nailing the start and holding off a hard-charging Mike Henriksen with the Team Velocity. Paxton's American Speedy was expected to be a contender but spun a few times in the bumpy water, allowing Fred Stock to take a podium spot with his Elam Plus.

​

1/8th Scale Nitro Consolation

1st: 2010 Superior Racing, Jeff Griffin

2nd (DNF): 1980 Miss Budweiser, Adam Faussett

3rd (DNS): 2000 Miss Elam Plus, Mark Lee

4th (DNS): 1969 Notre Dame, Chip Dean

​

Jeff Griffin was the beneficiary of an attrition-filled heat, as he was the only one to finish the heat and advance to the final.

​

1/8th Scale Nitro Final

1st: 1979 Miss Circus Circus, Geoffry Grembowski

2nd (DNF): 2012 Matrix Auto Systems, Brian Anderson

3rd (DNF): 2010 Superior Racing, Jeff Griffin

4th (DNF): 1994 Tide/Taco Time, Zach Gordon

5th (DNF): 2016 Oh Boy! Oberto, Jim Putich

6th (DNF): 2012 Beacon Plumbing, Adam Putich

7th (DNS): 1993 Miss Rock, Brent Edinger

​

As the winds began to howl, this final quickly became chaotic. Adam Putich took the early lead with the Beacon, but he was the first to flip. The Circus spun in response, but was able to keep going. Next was the Oberto, placing the Matrix in the lead. The next time up the backstretch, the Matrix was the next victim to the wind, and several other boats followed suit in response. That left Geoffry and the Circus as the sole remaining runner, and he took his second victory in 2024.
