Aussie Racers Head to Maryhill
A four-strong contingent of Aussie speedboarders head to the USA this week to compete in the fifth IGSA World Cup event of 2008 at Maryhill.
Sydney-based Jackson Shapiera and Queenslanders Steve Daddow, Adam Yates and Nathan Aveyard will be taking on the infamous Maryhill circuit - a course with 17 twists and turns. Jackson and Steve have competed in every World Cup event this year while for Adam and Nathan it'll be their first race since Newton's Playground back in March.
With the World Cup circuit at the halfway mark for 2008 there's plenty to race for. Jackson is currently ranked 7th in the world and Steve 10th.

IGSA has their Day 4 Report up. It was the second day of qualifying, but the previous day's tailwinds became a headwind, so all the times were slower. This means that there will be little change in the qualifying positions.
These were the day's fastest times:
1. Patrick Switzer CAN 3:13.020
2. Kevin Reimer CAN 3:14.635
3. Mike Zietsman RSA 3:14.744
4. James Kelly USA 3:14.862
5. K.C. Morrow CAN 3:14.924
6. Erik Lundburg SWE 3:15.084
7. Martin Siegrist SUI 3:15.475
8. Georges Siddiqi USA 3:15.767
