TTPBA Great Race 2019

Postby Numb3r4 » August 16th, 2019, 10:20 pm

What is the deal with the race this year?

Very quiet no activity at all here in Tobago some music but a lot less than previous years.

Also not seeing a lot of people.

Things that bad?

I guess they will want to adjust the handcap next year to suit the big money spenders

streamed the entire coverage to my television while I was doing other stuff- overall not bad given they havn't done it before and they were at mercy to what was being shown on the screen fro time to time.

Maybe next year it would be good to have the presenters in Tobago (rather than Petra St. in Woodbrook) so they can do post race interviews one time.

Anyways thanks for sharing otherwise I woulda missed this completely

Ah find Paramount does always breakdown as they start to hit the bocas, and like is always debris does be the cause..
But overall glad for the smaller crafts... Jesus is coming did really well for a cruiser type vessel.

Guardian - Team En­er­giza have won this year’s Trinidad and To­ba­go Great Race.

Dri­ver Shel­don Edghill and throt­tle­man An­tho­ny Brash took the ti­tle af­ter steer­ing their 37’ Bowen past To­ba­go-owned boat Je­sus is Com­ing in the wa­ters be­tween To­co and Store Bay, where the small­er Je­sus is Com­ing found it a lit­tle more dif­fi­cult due to the chop­py wa­ters.

Team En­er­giza nev­er looked back af­ter that and cruised to the over­all ti­tle and the 95mph class tro­phy as well.

Vet­er­an rac­er Ken Charles and his Mr So­lo Too crew had to set­tle for sec­ond over­all but lift­ed a record 17th 135mph ti­tle in his record 50th race.

Heat Wave was third over­all and the 80mph win­ner while Je­sus is Com­ing took the Cruis­er Class ti­tle and was fourth over­all.

Stay tuned for the of­fi­cial times on the race.

Or Power 102FM’s version

SPORT HIGHLIGHT:

Mr Solo Too claimed their 18th Great Race title this morning. The triumphant speedboat who entered the 135 mph category, was actually the second to arrive at Store Bay behind Energiza who’d entered the 95mph category.
