Again Andrew Tate and Bobby King in North Tonawanda Regatta (New York)

Andrew Tate earned honors in the Grand Prix final aboard the “Steeler” GP-777 while Bobby King won the Hydro 350 class final race in the “LDC Construction” H-242 controls.

Constant winds prevented the Formula 2500 and 2.5L Finals from taking place, so the first winners to collect points over the weekend were announced. Guillaume Sharett took the podium lead with the F-44 “Wave Dancer” Derek Demers and Eddie Canfuchs declaring his victory over the weekend thanks to 3 straight wins in the “Miss Behaved” S-50.

At the Grand Prix, New Zealander Jack Lupton was the first to cross the finish line in the final but the ‘GP-33’ driver was punished for causing a foul by changing lanes. Andrew Tate, who twice tried to join the leader during the race, finally inherited the win at “Stellar” to add 4^e Win multiple Hydroplane Racing League events in 2022.

Robin Demers took 2^e He ranked first at the wheel of the “Canada Boy” GP-757, and Yannick Leger took the podium in the “Supernova” GP-21. Jack Lupton is still in fourth place^e Because his brother Ken (Lucas Oil GP-577) and Ken Brody II (Freedom GP-50) were unable to complete the four laps. The emotional Grand Island (New York) nominee had the best moments of the season in the playoffs and took the inner lane in the final. Brodie II rotated the lead but had to stop near the end of 2^e Riding in the “GP-50”.

Bobby King stood out in the Hydro 350 class, winning 3 of 4 events including the final with the “H-242”. Michael Tremblay continued his excellent drive to finish second in the H-8 “Last Minute Again” and Tyler Kadatz (H-195) finished third on the podium.

Derek Smith (H-79), Donnie Allen (H-14) and Nicholas Ross (H-225) followed the finish line while Martin Rochon (H-773) scored the start to finish 7^e. Andrew Tate won the 1C race on Saturday in the Benswill H-300 but a problem during the second qualifying wave prevented him from returning on Sunday.
