I have to say, one of the many highlights of the weekend was watching Outer Limits and King of Shaves pass us at over 100mph! We were definitely in one of the best spectator spots!

Welcome to Proprider Dragon Lady and what a great job you and Mike did over the weekend. I am so annoyed that I wasn't there.

Guess you had a ringside seat for the Outerlimits Fountain battle.

That was an awesome spectacle to watch - from the safety boat it sounded absolutely amazing so from your proximity it must have been outstanding! Well done this weekend, great racing.

[Dragon Lady]

Thank you :)

Yes I think we had one of the best seats possible....wish I'd had a camera although I think Mike may have taken a dim view if I'd started taking photos :eek:

One day I hope it'll be us up against them :D

Yes ... we liked that too! Honda press release claims they "stole the show" at Cowes as well :D

Love those marketing guys!!

Honda made for a great “warm up” to the main event.

I guess considering how poor the UK domestic offshore racing scene is at the moment we had better allow them a little “poetic licence”, because their series is the only one doing it properly here.

If only class 3 and V24 could learn from Sunday's spectacle ......

A couple of amateur vids and a interesting pic of Mr. Fountain in Cowes.

Twas great to see the Yanks bring their sartorial elegance back to Cowes! Interesting watching those vids, the noise really was like that, and never seemed to stop for over an hour - sorry Ben no pics from me, like everyone else was too excited watching the racing!
