The Final Heat of the H1 race was stopped after Corey Peabody flipped at the end of the front straighsway.
He was extracted but appeared to be unconscious when he was loaded in the ambulance. However, the ambulance has not yet left.
The U-40 Beacon Plumbing threw a propeller in testing Friday morning and tore up the bottom of the boat. They have officially withdrawn, leaving us with 5 boats.
They claim to have hit a log, which is possible. But this is the cleanest I've seen this river in a long time.

1 p.m.
🚤 Jimmy Shane (1) vs. J. Michael Kelly (8)

Kick off your holiday weekend in Madison on Friday, 5/27 at 11:00 am as we help dedicate a new state marker for the Eagle Cotton Mill. The marker examines industrial labor and river commerce in IN in the late 1800s and 1900s. The former mill was renovated as a hotel in 2021.
