Weather consisted of a light rain followed by the sun peeking in-and-out. A tricky, changing wind direction and wind speed gave the skippers and crews all they could handle. All hands crews, skippers and owners had a great time throughout the race day. The awards ceremony was a pizza, cookie & cupcake inspired afterparty!

After a long day, we all learned Kurt Bush won the CRASH FEST that was the 2017 Daytona 500. As for the Oscars… we’re not sure, yet. They had scoring issues… Is there a protest brewing between “LA LA Land” and “Moonlight”? Racers and fans can view and upload free photos at Partyby5. Photos by Gisele “Shooter Diva”
