TNH Modern Season 16, Race 7
-
With two races remaining and only 252 points separating the top three boats, the fleet heads to Watkins Glen NY: Thunder in the Glen World Championship (to be run on the Detroit course). Qualifying will again start at 6:30 PM (PST) sharp on Jan 11th, 2017. With only seven boats participating in the Gold Cup, we are hoping for a larger field to finish out the season.

In an exciting night of racing that saw five different preliminary heat winners from a variety of lanes, Jeff Dewalt in the U-4 Pocket Saver Plus notched his first win of the season. Overcoming a slow qualification time and a disappointing heat 3B fourth place finish, the U-4 overtook the Pay-n-Pak (who nailed the start from the outside) at the end of lap 1 and never looked back. With the final heat victory, the U-4 stretched the season lead to 323 over the U-6 Holset Miss Madison and 461 over the U-25 Pak.
