Parking lot start
by Bonnie on May.18, 2006, under 2006 Tybee 500
It was interesting start this morning at Ormond Beach. Waves were low, the breeze was light, and everyone seemed to have a different strategy as to how to attack the leg to Fernandina. Some teams began to head further out immediately trying to gain boat speed and position, just enough to dirty the air and temporarily stall the boats closer to the shore. A few teams went twisty and everything stalled momentarily until they began to separate and get their own air back and head away. Team Tybee, Castrol 1, and Team Velocity didn’t have to contend with the cluster. I may have missed other details as I was taking these fantastic photos! Plus, I have a memory like a sieve. We don’t really expect them into Fernandina until about the same time as yesterday…’round 5-ish. We’ll keep you posted.
