Tonawanda
2008
Hard
Left Racing made its way to
Tonawanda
NY
this
past weekend, for what they had hoped would be there first weekend of
racing for the 2008 season.
Unfortunately
after working feverishly over the last couple of months, this was not to
be.
Mother
Nature did not wish to comply and unfortunately the weekend was completely
blown out. Although this was disappointing to all the racers on hand, we
here at Hard Left Racing want to acknowledge all the hard work that John
Krebs and his entire organization put into this event. Without all of
there hard work and commitment to the sport "Thunder on the
Niagara
"
would not even take place.
They
put on a very professional event and go to extreme lengths to make us
the race teams feel at home.
We
would like thank "Thunder on the
Niagara
"
for there hospitality while we where there and hope for nothing but the
best for them and the event for years to come. Also we would like to
thank the "Seco" company for coming on board as a weekend
sponsor for the team and wish them all the best.
Thanks
again and we will be back at your event next year!

sure we get very little sleep!!!

Get the boat ready
Well the 2007 season
is distant memory and we are now concentrating on the 2008 season.
Before we get to the
new season I figured I could fill in any questions that some of you fans
may have had and fill you all in what transpired over the past season.
At the beginning of
the 2007 year the “Hard Left Racing Team” made some much needed
repairs to the hull. We decided to change the bottom of the hull from the
cockpit all the way back to the transom as we were having problems the
season before with water infiltration and cracks. We finished the work
just in time for the
Valleyfield
regatta (exactly1 day before) and headed off to our first race of the
season.
