Free Fantasy Hydroplane Game!

 

Not only did the 2009 season usher in an international race in Doha,
Qatar for hardcore hydroplane fans to get revved up about, it also
provided the hydroplane community across the world an opportunity to
participate in a free online fantasy hydroplane game called Deck2Deck
Fantasy Hydros.

The game is entirely FREE to play and the game concept is easy to
understand. Simply choose one hydroplane per race for each race of
the season. But here is the catch: you can only select any given
hydroplane once per season. The points that your selected hydroplanes
earn are tabulated over the course of the season on the web site. The
fantasy player with the highest point total at the end of the year is
the winner!

Once you complete the simple registration at www.deck2deck.us you can
set up a private league to compete against your friends as well as
join various public leagues to compete against other hydroplane fans
from around the world!

We hope you come race Deck2Deck with us in 2010!

Live Streaming from Madison


Dan Cole Handicaps This Weekends Race At Madison

U-96 Spirit of Qatar Dave Villwock 2-1 Simply put the best of everything makes 'em tough to beat

U-1 Oh Boy Oberto Steve David 3-1 Back to back National Champs, would love to win one in front of 13,000 owners

U-5 Formulaboats.com Jeff Bernard 5-1 Bernard was in the thick of things last year, a slip by the top two could advance his cause

U-21 Albert Lee Appliance Brian Perkins 5-1 Essentially a "new" boat ran 201 in the straights in testing, Watch out for these guys.

U-7 Graham Trucking J. Michael Kelly 5-1 The Young Gun Kelly coming off a victory in Qatar will be a formidable foe this year.

U-3 Go3 Racing Jimmy King 8-1 If only these guys could keep the boat running. Watch out for the "Turbinator"

U-37 Miss Peters and May J.W. Myers 8-1 I like these guys, Jay Dub has the potential to make some noise this year.

U-17 Our Gang Racing Kip Brown 10-1 It's a family affair for sure, don't think they can beat the big boys.

U-100 Leland Racing Greg Hopp 25-1 I'd love to see this guy drive some good equipment, Great driver.

U-25 Superior Racing Jon Zimmerman 50-1 Look for the Good Dr.'s boat to qualify fast, not sure how it will do in heat racing.

U-13 Spirit of Detroit Racing Cal Phipps 100-1 The Bartush entry returns, look for them to get better as the season progresses

U-22 Matrix Systems Mike Webster 100-1 Old hull, trouble maintaining high speeds will plague this team in Madison,

John Lyons has actively been pursuing Canada Post since August in his bid to see a stamp issued in 2011 to mark the 50th anniversary of Miss Supertest III's victory for the Harmsworth Trophy at Long Reach.
