WWA - 2006 Salmon River Jetboat Races 1

2006 Salmon River Jetboat Races

The WWA provided safety boats for the Salmon River Jetboat Races again in 2006. The event was held over the weekend of April 15 & 16 and this year the weather was a major contender with intermittent rain and wind on Saturday.

As always, there was spectacular action as the boats maneuvered through the rapids and poured on the power in the long open stretches. Many thanks to all the WWA members who contributed their time and boats to the cause. Our apologies to Mike and Molly who were among the participating safety boats. We just couldn't get any photos of you out there on duty, but we know you were there.

Bob and Becky were at Time Zone Rapids

Dale was just below Tight Squeeze Rapids

Jim and Patty were under Time Zone Bridge

Greg and Alita covered the bend above Race Creek again this year

Bud and Deb held down the stretch between Short's Bar and Island Bar

Gary and Debbie were the sweep boat

Tom, Lois, and others braved the Saturday afternoon weather

Steve and Lorri head back to Short's Bar on Saturday after the weather forced a
suspension of the race; Sunday morning they were back on post below the Little Salmon.
