ABRA: Because three laps of the final heat have not yet been completed, the final heat will be re-run in its entirety.
Allen is being treated by emergency personnel at the race site. He was described as "awake and alert."
No time set yet for re-run of the finals. There's debris from the U-1 to clean up. When re-started, the U-3 will reportedly move into the first row. The U-13 is the alternate and may run as the trailer, but I'm not sure because the U-37 has more points than the U-13...?

Heat 3B - Unofficial Results
1. U-16 Dave Villwock
2. U-1 Mike Allen
3. U-5 Jeff Bernard
4. U-37 Jean Theoret
Theoret was battling for second, just ahead of Allen, when he got caught in Villwock's wash and went inside a buoy and went dead. He got it re-started, but was way too far back to do anything.

Hang on race fans!
The N2 violation against the U-5 was overturned. Which means the U-5 won Heat 1B and not the U25.

Heard on the P.A......
Dr. Ken Muscatel is not feeling well. He's apparently recruited Greg Hopp to run the U-25. Hopp is being fitted in the cockpit of the U-25. Hopp's U-100 boat withdrew after engine problems.
J. Michael Kelly banged up his arm in the last heat. U-13 took a big hop after it lost some parts. J. Michael said he'll be OK to race.

Heard on the P.A. from Steve David.... asked what kind of music he was listening to in the cockpit which has a MP3 player.
"It was from Rocky. Sting is the next heat. A little Harry Chapin in the final"

Muscatel's winning speed in Heat 1B was the slowest winning time this year at 127.212. I quickly scanned all the winning boat average speeds for 2006 and 2005 and couldn't find a slower speed for a win those years either...
Steve David's 1B speed of 149.104, good for second place, was the fastest average speed of the day.
