Ted, that was a great video. What brand and model camcorder did you use?

:: Go Ted!
::
:: Great to follow Monster Express on Facebook too.
::
:: :: Wow!
:: ::
:: :: :: I just posted some raw footage from the race. A clip
:: :: :: under full chute and then more footage with our Chicken
:: :: :: Chute "The Kevorkian"
:: :: ::
:: :: :: Sustained 15-17+kts in 30+.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHs83q1InY0
:: :: ::
:: :: :: I hope we get some more Express' up for next year's
:: :: :: race.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: :: The 2011 "Double Damned" Downwind Race will be held
:: :: :: :: August 6th in the Columbia River Gorge. It's a 42 mile
:: :: :: :: Downwinder/Upriver from Cascade Locks Oregon to The
:: :: :: :: Dalles Oregon. It's the Gorge so it's usually Windy (
:: :: :: :: Record is 3:53 - Moore 24 - Morgan Larson in 2009 )
:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: We would love to have any and all Express' racing. Both
:: :: :: :: Hood River Yacht Club Express' will be racing ( My
:: :: :: :: "Monster Express" #87 and the newly relocated Bessie Jay
:: :: :: :: now known as "Kitchen Remodel") and hope to have a
:: :: :: :: couple more.
:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: There should be a strong fleet this year with the Moore
:: :: :: :: 24 Nationals the week before in Cascade Locks.
