2013 Sacramento Video Recap

2013 Big Wake Weekend

Thank you to Harley Rainville over on Facebook for reminiscing about his first Unlimited Hydroplane Racing exposure! He’s not the first one to get hooked during his very first race. Yep, I’m talking to you… you know how you are!

This Unlimited Hydroplane Racing Video Recap is you, Harley. Enjoy a trip down the straightaway… er… ah… I mean… Memory Lane!

In 2013, we had the luxury of fully produced coverage, then by CBS Sports. Watching it is a pleasant reminder of how some of the commentary was geared to the novice viewer. That’s not bad – in fact, that is welcomed. It was great see accommodations made for newbies, which is always good for a sport.

Normally, I would share individual Heats, along with the Final. I’ll do that here again, but with a twist. Since we have full CBS Sports coverage, I’ll show that at the end. Since there is considerable on board camera footage available, it might be fun this time to share each Heat from a different boat (and driver’s) perspective.

And there are some EXCITING perspectives!

Enjoy!
