VADirt is so tired of the rain he covered boat races.
Hampton Cup Regatta and Summer Nationals. This past weekend, Hampton, VA hosted its 86th annual Hampton Cup Regatta in the waters off of old Fort Monroe. Fairly protected cove in the Hampton Roads waterways, and a beautiful setting for racing. Open to the public with a great viewing area, this unique event feature numerous classes of hydro-plane boats, as well as some flat-bottom speed boats and open hull "jersey skiffs" racing a 1 mile oval course. Interrupted on the first day by severe thunderstorms, day two saw racing all day long featuring the famous "rooster tails" that are a great part of this sport, with drivers from as far away as Montana, Washington State, and even Canada racing their hardest. These boats are pretty awesome to watch, but hard to get used to. It's a one mile oval, but you only have turn one (our 1 and 2) and turn two (our 3 and 4) and they use phrase like "leading by a rooster tail" but it's pretty cool racing.
Some really cool boat racin photos.
