Wabash Magnetics Indiana State Championships

Threatening weather waited and the protected course stayed calm under strong west winds. More than 80 entries took to the water each day for some great racing and -- amazingly -- not one driver was in the water either day. In this photo, Kris Proctor, 95-H, Indianapolis, leads a B Mod Hydro heat.

Steady on: It was Tom Johnston, 15-M, who took the weekend title in B Mod Hydro by capturing second place both Saturday and Sunday.

Wall of water: The Formula E Hydros of John Sharp, 8-H, and David Mason, 38-M, are silhouetted against the spray from the 7-M hydro of Jim Robb, Jr.

Kevin Ladd, 4-M, took the A Stock Hydro win on Saturday against eight other boats, the largest field of the day.

Side-by-each, again: Jimmy Robb, M-7, Waterford, Michigan and Daniel Koschka, 41-H, Indianapolis, are enjoying another sponson-to-sponson season in A Stock Hydro. Koschka captured the weekend title in Formula A Hydro.

One class, two wins: John Robarge clinched wins in C Stock Hydro both Saturday and Sunday.

Two classes, one win each: Tom Sutherland, Chelsea, Michigan, took the checkered in 20 SS Hydro on Saturday and in A Mod Hydro on Sunday.

A Team: Jesse Swain and his brother Jordan, Warsaw, Indiana, both ran well in A Mod Hydro and A Mod Runabout. Jesse took the AMR win on Sunday.
