 The lake remains calm and the air continually still... until you hear the first roar, of the first engine as the racers push their starter buttons. In just a matter of seconds they're off, one right after another heading out on to the lake for their warm-up laps. The water starts to ripple as the rumble of the powerful engines echo off the hills and through the Sammamish Valley. The air is electric, and you get tingles as the racers make their first pass by - you feel a rush of wind as they pick up speeds - with some speeds of up to 150mph! Now as they make their final turn up lake and begin their run to the starter's clock, you are on your feet in total wonderment of this awesome sight which is right
before your eyes; - those are some of the Northwest's most powerful Hydroplanes running side by side in the duel of their lives.
At Tastin' n Racin'
you can see and feel the power of the best
Northwest Limited Hydroplane Racing, which
includes 1 Litre, 2.5 Litre, 2.5 Mod, 5 Litre, National Modified,
Grand Prix and vintage hydros - once again,
you
will
feel
the
rush and
excitement as the Unlimiteds take to the water
- both the Vintage hydros and the Turbine
Unlimited Hydros! 2008
broke many records with the Turbine Unlimiteds
taking to the waters of Lake Sammamish for the
first time ever! Then the crowd was
treated to the first ever of seeing a Turbine
and Vintage Unlimited running side by side!!
What a treat that was and what a sight to see
and to witness history in the making!!
Grand Prix are back with the sound reminiscent
of years gone by - and gee, they are fast!! The Unlimited Hydros
are just plain cool and the variety of boats
in the pits all side by side, was a thrill for
both racer and fan alike!
The PWC series, presented by
I-90 Motorsports, brings to TnR the best, brightest and fastest Personal Water Craft racers in the entire Western half of the United States – as many as 90 racers… Yikes!! All vying for the important points and championship!!! With the PWC, you will see a variety of classes racing oval,
performing jumps, and maneuvering the obstacle course.
All this action close to the shore and right there in your face!
Hey, get out your PWC and join the fun!
Beginner racing classes are available!!
 To add to the excitement, Tastin’ n Racin’ is working to bring together the largest group of vintage racing hydros on the West Coast!! All the cool limited racers we grew up with lovingly restored to their glory days!! They are exciting to watch and even more exciting to see up close!! (Photo by Tim Crowley)
All this racing will keep you talking for months! Tastin’ n Racin’ is bringing together the biggest variety of racing on the West Coast!! The Hydros are big, bright, fast and
loud!! The thunder will send a chill down your spine and a smile to your face! The PWC racing is something we can all imagine ourselves doing and with the racing right at the shore, you can really feel the adrenaline running!
And you will never know what 'history' you will
be able to witness!
