HARDWATER KITING GSR '17 WEEK 2 RESULTS top speed 64.6 mph

Feyd - 17-1-2017 at 12:42 PM

Week 2 is complete and once again Guy Lebrun stays on top. Fellow Canadian Bob Pelletier was a close second place just 3.3 mph short of catching Guy. Chris Krug cam in with an even closer 3rd at just .2 mph short of catching Bob and barely,BARELY keeping the US in the top 3.
​
Northeast Canadians are a fast bunch!

We are happy to see former ranking winner Petri Lehikoinen of Finland returning to the ranking with a respectable 51.76 mph followed closely by a speedy Molly Savard with 50.2 mph!

And last but not least, the winner of this weeS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s random t-shirt drawing of participants if Jeff Jacobs of Pewaukee Wisconsin!

We are impressed with the speeds people are entering already this season. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Goals for the season:

1) Break into the 40+ range
2) Beat Cheddarhead

We're going to lose a lot of snow this week (warm temps) but I hope it doesn't expose too much ice. The ice we get around here is extremely rough. If I had a crash at speed there would be body parts scattered around the lake ;)

Don't worry Bill, you'll get me yet ;) Darn near identical speeds this week. Fantastic ice in these parts, I just couldn't find any wind this past week. A lot of it is being lucky enough to have the right conditions at the right time. I've already missed a couple good opportunities due to work or because the best wind was at night.
