2011 Roadrunner Results and Photos

March 9, 2011

There was no middle ground for the 92 boats at this year’s Roadrunner Regatta, with 20+ knots on Saturday and 0-5 knots Sunday.

Three cheers to everyone who participated, included the “longest traveled” group from Mississippi, and all who volunteered to make this event happen.  Check out the TSA Youth Circuit calendar for more events, including Canyon Lake (Mar 19-20).

Here are the race results and photos (thanks to Bill Records, ace photographer).

Ever wonder what Amarillo and Paris had in common?  Art!  Now you know.

French sculptor Julien Berthier’s fantastical “sinking boat” sculpture below is turning heads, and is a beautiful complement to Amarillo’s Caddilac Ranch, n’est pas?
