From ABRA website:
"Should conditions improve, the boats could hit the water today, but race organizers and team officials are discussing running all heats tomorrow. In order for an APBA Gold Cup to be fully sanctioned and recognized, three sets of elimination heats must be run."

From U-6 website:
We have a new gearbox that may help us get our straightaway speed!
From U-13 website:
"We put in a different motor, one of our best props and we went 14mph faster than in our morning session,” stated J Michael Kelly.
From Detroit Free Press:
"We're playing catch-up," David said. "We're trying to learn in three weeks what Elam has learned in three years. Little things make a big difference. The next time I go out, I told them to change the fin angle from 1.8 degrees to 1.5. That's what, a sixteenth of an inch?"
From Detroit News: Jimmy King talking about fans:
"They come by and say, 'You want us to go break Villwock's legs?'" King said, laughing.... "I tell them, 'No, when I win one, I want him right behind me.' Then they'll say, 'You want me to go put a hole in that boat?' and I say, 'No, no, no, I want him there.' "
