Racing Action Will Begin – with the KZOK 102.5 Cup on Saturday and Sunday, June 12th &13th , PWC starting at 9:00am till 6pm and Hydros and flatbottoms from 12pm - 6pm. Awards Ceremony, Sunday at 6pm.

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.  

 Once again for the Tastin' n Racin', you can see and feel the power of the best Northwest Limited Racing, which are 1.5 Litre, 2.5 Litre, 2.5 Mod, 5 Litre, National Modified, Grand Prix and vintage hydros, superstock, prostock or nostalgic flatbottom runabout boats and 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 Sammammish 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 the history in the making!!  2010 will bring the GP Western Divisionals presented by Westport/Grayland Chamber of Commerce - which means lots and lots of  Thunder, Unlimited Hydros once again, more limited hydros and flats and more vintage hydros, all together in the same pits.


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 – that is 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, jumps, obstacle course and a variety of different and exciting racing action- all this action close to the shore and right there in your face!   

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 sound like the boats we all grew up watching!! 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!
