8/4/2010 - The word has it that the Lake Elsinore race has been cancelled, possibly due to unsafe track conditions. Lucas is trying to move the event to Chowchilla. There is supposed to be a meeting at the Chowchilla City Hall at 7:00pm on 8/5/2010 between a possible promoter and the city. Dave Lipinski posted the information at dragboatracing.com, and asked that any fans/racers/supporters show up to give the City of Chowchilla more reason to play host to another event.

 
 
 
 

6/28/2010 - Yesterday at the Showdown in San Angelo, there was a mishap that caused the Speed Sport Special Top Fuel hydro veered into the other lane, and caused the Problem Child fueler to go airborne. After talking with Tanya Ehrlich, driver Daryl's wife, she indicated that Daryl was doing good. He did suffer a crushed vertebrae and will undergo surgery on Tuesday to repair it. The doctors said that after the surgery, he will be in a brace for 12 weeks, but should be completely back to normal when he fully recovers. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Daryl's family, and to the whole EKR team for this unfortunate accident.

Please say a little prayer for my boy, "Tucker". I'm sitting here at the computer crying trying to understand and help him. He is so small, and doesnt understand what is happening to him.

We just completed our recap of the World Finals. It was a fantastic event and wanted to share it with all of our followers. Also, our photo gallery is full of all of the shots that we took at the event.

Well if you missed the 2009 edition of the World Finals, you missed a great race. Weather could not have been better. I have been attending this event since 1991 and this is by far the best weather we have ever had. Temps in the mid to upper 70's a little tiny breeze just to take the edge off the sunlight, wow, what a weekend. Excitement was in the air, but nothing prepared me for the news about the IHBA. As of this event the IHBA will be no more. According to the IHBA, they will no longer be sanctioning nationwide events and will cease operations as a sanctioning body. The good news; Lucas Oil has stepped up to form a new sanctioning body that will suport clubs all over the country and promote 8 national events in 2010. Although the future is cloudy, most of us know what a great company Lucas Oil has been to the motorsports world, and as a dedicated fan, I am sure our future is in good hands. Rumors also soared about the possible loss of Firebird Raceway as the premiere drag boat facility in the US. According to Firebird, they have 7 years left on their land lease and drag boat racing will continue to be at Firebird for that time. Boat count was down, no surprise with the economy in shambles, but pretty good considering the circumstances.

Top Fuel Hydro
Only 5 boats made the tow to the valley of the sun to compete for the coveted "Stone Dude". Front-runner John Haas and the Speed Sport team had their Watercraft fueler dialed in with a couple of 4 second qualifying passes. But it was "Mad Maxx" Daryl Ehrlich behind the wheel of Eddie Knox's "Problem Child" that stole the show. Daryl came out in round 2 to take the top spot with a 4.63 pass.
