AC 45 Shenanigans in Full Swing

By Rob Grant | June 13, 2011 | The Bay |

Oracle Racing’s AC 45s have been out there blasting around the Bay, and as the video above shows, it’s been pretty full-on racing for these "little" monsters. This week will be a busy one for the team. This afternoon, they’ll be out and about hopefully wowing local media and dignitaries, and throughout the week they’ll be out strutting their stuff. On Wednesday morning, there will be a press conference to announce the slate of challengers for AC 34, which has got to be one of the most anticipated events of this young Cup cycle.

We were at a design briefing this morining and as a result weren’t able to get the results to do a proper Weekend Racing Wrap-up, so stayed tuned — we’ll get to that on Wednesday.

Still Burning from Lack of Response
We don’t want to flog this dead horse any more than necessary, but the story of the Alameda Fire Department doing absolutely nothing to come to the aid of 53-year old Raymond Zack in neck-deep water off Crown Beach on Memorial Day just won’t die.
