Gold Cup 2007, Detroit

On the weekend of the 14th & 15th of July, we took a trip to Detroit, to watch the Gold Cup. The Gold Cup is the oldest active trophy in motorsports. It was 2 beautiful days of hydroplane racing. The boys (Karl included) thought that it was pretty cool. Here is a sampling of pictures of our weekend, that was filled with loud, fast races & even a boat flip!Here's a picture of the Gold Cup. This year was the 99th running of the race. It was only out in public for a few minutes & then they whisked it off in this very secure metal box, surrounded by guards. It was almost as if the president was in that box!
Braden cheeses it for the camera, as Dalton watches a race.
What an intense look on his face!
The water in the air is part of a "rooster tail" from a hydroplane.
Dalton & Braden watch them lower an offshore racing boat onto the trailer.
