The
Big Boys have tasted the waters of Lake
Sammamish!!...
And they are back again!!!
Hope you're
ready for the 13th annual Tastin' n Racin'
festival, June 6 - 7!!! With all the
history making of last year –how are we going to
top that?! It was great to see the U-37, owned by
Billy ‘The Kid’ & Jane Schmacher running side by
side with the 1962 vintage Miss Bardahl!!....and
all that noise! It was a first, a turbine
unlimited and vintage unlimited hitting the water
at the same time. It also was nothing but pure
joy for all the fans and racers alike!! Sooooo, the Unlimiteds will be back!! 2009 will continue with
this new tradition of boats ranging from
Unlimiteds, to limited inboards, from the
Supercharged Grand Prix’s to the 1.5 litre hydros,
and vintage inboards from yesteryear. Not to
mention all of the hydro and flatbottom runabout
racing action, there’s also the exciting and
unpredictable Personal Water Craft (PWC) racing
competition with their close up ‘in your face’
twisting, turning and flipping. There’s other
great events and specials on the boardwalk, main
stage and the family fun area! Don't miss the
Motorcycle Pledge Ride benefiting The MAX
Foundation, and the Hot Boat and Bike Show!
There’s always more to Tastin' n Racin' than just
racing!! We have eating, live music, 2 beer
gardens, more eating, arts and crafts, even more
eating, children’s activities, shopping, (did we
mention eating?) and so much more. So, mark the
