Parker "Spring Classic" held on April 14 & 15 (2012)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Los Angeles, Calif. Apr 19, 2012) Continuing it’s storied racing history, dating back to 1946, The Southern California Speedboat Club (SCSC) once again delighted fans with the running of the 2012 Blue Water Resort & Casino "Spring Classic" held on April 14 & 15 in Parker, Ariz.

Racing fans packed the hillsides and beaches at the majestic location situated on the edge of the sparkling Colorado River as the premier boat-racing club in the area featured not only top-notch equipment from blown inboards to strapping stock outboards but also many of the sport's most competitive drivers.

The weather created a tumultuous situation on Saturday with spotty wind and rain adding to difficult racing conditions. The inclement whether combined with drivers jockeying for top qualifying spots for APBA Western Divisional Championships made for more than a handful of blow-overs and barrel-rolls. Fortunately all drivers walked away with nothing more than a few bruised egos and some pending fiberglass repairs.

The typical dessert sun returned for the Sunday Finals and set the stage for a number of outright racing showdowns, with eager qualifying competitors vying for top bragging rights. The event was not only action packed, but also a wonderful family experience as boat owners welcomed race fans into the pits to meet the drivers and checkout the incredible racing machines. Results are posted below and please join SCSC at one of the upcoming events.

SCSC will return to action on Aug. 4 & 5, for the Lucas Oil Long Beach Sprint Nationals presented by ARP, at the Oceanside Long Beach Marine Stadium located in Long Beach Calif.
