BeachJet 1st, Tom Bowman and 2nd John Smith
Our first Saturday race, proved to be lacking in turnout as several regulars couldn't make it. Never the less the race must go on, and the competitors that showed up were ready! The BeachJet race was for any body and the Bat-Jet Ford GT and Crossfire GT made up most of the field. Mike Ose from Newport News gamely raced his quick JL Fairlane, but he did realize the quick way around the track...purchasing two Ford GT's from Tom.
