Hey Raceboat fans,
Recently heard some details on an upcoming tribute to the past Boat races once held between Kenmore and Sammamish on the famed Slough.
This will be an "Exhibition" put on by members of the Seattle Outboard Association and will feature some Stock Outboard Hydroplanes and Classic Runabouts as well as some laps around a course for the "J" Boats which feature kids from 6-15 years of age and use Johnson or mercury 15 hp outboards on racing lower units.
They do NOT plan on going all the way to the upper lake and the J boats will be running near the park at Kenmore so should be visible from shoreline.
A local artist has helped promote the deal and got help from Chip Hanauer at a recent public meeting in Kenmore who spoke to the standing-room only crowd and must have softened up the local Chamber of Commerce.
Would be great to see some real races in the future which is the ultimate goal of the local racers.
Anybody know more on this or was actually there at the meeting in Kenmore?
