to new members out there. We also hope to have monthly newsletters with info,
stories, fun with what club has planned and where, stories and pics from past racers.
Have heard from a Ken Ellis from the Kaitaia Club who raced Scorpion.

10/02/10 -Classic Boats

To All Boaties: Remember when boat racing was relatively simple. Get out
on the water, race at speeds of 50-60mph and sometimes more if you were lucky to have a hydroplane. Costs were minimal and it was a fun family orientated weekend with tall tales of how close the racing was and if the track was a little longer I could have passed you. Not many helmets, life jackets and OSH in those days. Just some of the clubs that were around 40 years ago in Northland, included Kaitaia, Bay of Islands, Otamatea, Whangarei and Horeke. Anyone out  there remember these, we would love to hear from you . A few like minded people are looking to start a Classic Powerboat Club in the Northland area to start with then expand out and down the country. There is interest from as far away as South Island but we plan to organise our own backyard first with a few fun days over the year with a chance to get  your boats out on the water for a spurt. Anyone interested in more information and getting into the race game at ground level we are having a meeting towards the end of February in Dargaville, to discuss our options and making this idea a reality. Time to stop the talking and get doing. All information and ideas welcome. We welcome any boatie interested in the club.
Contact Julie or Steve on 09 439 1559 or 0274 854 788 or email
classicboats@slingshot.co.nz for more details.

2.5 Modified Hydroplane Poll.

02/02/10 -UIM World Modified Champs International Profile - John Shewbrooks.

John is a second- generation hydroplane driver and has been racing for over 35 years; his Dad, Jack Shewbrooks, who raced for 35 years, introduced him to the sport.
‘Captain Jack’ was one of the founding fathers of the 2.5 litre Modified Class.
Highlights of John’s racing career include two back-to-back National Championships (1996 & 1997 and 2002 & 2003), a World Championship in 2001, and 6 MACH titles.
John played a leadership role in APBA of the racecourse and was a long time A Class representative and served as Inboard Racing Chairman in 2003. John is always promoting boat racing with racers, sponsors, event organizers, and fans. He has also mentored several drivers in the 2.5 Litre Modified Class including Chris Cordle, Alan Lewis, Tony Black and Tom Newman. A highlight occurred in 1995 when John’s racing career, accomplishments, and contributions to the sport were recognized when Ohio State Senator Cooper Snyder presented John with the Ohio Senators Cup Award. John is a leader in the American Society of Quality, his other interests include building radio-controlled race boat models, cooking and more recently Sprintcars. John will represent the USA  and will drive Wayne Wells boat ‘Summer Wine’ in the  UIM 2.5  Modified Hydroplane World Championship.

31/12/09 - NZ Nationals Series Update.

We will be proceeding with our two round National Series as planned. We will open it up to allow one-round entrants to pay half fee $200 and gain points for their championship. If you dont wish to pay this then you can pay regatta entry fee anyway and may be able to race with your class or in mixed fields subject to numbers (No championship points). We have a sponsor who will pay $200.00 travel money returned to interisland-traveling championship entrants. We are still holding entries open as they are still trickling in. Bottom line is we have enough numbers to contest most fields and classes and we will be going racing at Lake Karapiro and Lake Rotoiti

All the best for the New Year
