Economic stimulus package...

The Midwest Speed Quest recently announced an "Economic Stimulus Package". Leading economists say programs that put cash into the hands of consumers will speed up the economic recovery.

In response, the Midwest Speed Quest has announced a 3 Phase Program. for Economic Recovery

PHASE ONE: $200 CASH for the first Windsurfer who records a "Best Ten Second Interval" of 30 knots. If two or more windsurfers recorded this speed on a single day, these funds were to be shared. Today three racers showed up, so It was decided that any racer who broke 30 knots on May 31 would be awarded $200.

David Knight of Fridley MN recorded a 31.74 knot run. He was sailing a Carbon Art SL 62 Slalom Board, a KA Koncept 5.8 Sail, and a Vector Rockit 34 cm fin.

Chris Lock of Plainview MN recorded a 30.14 knot run. He was sailing a Starboard Carve 111 Board, a KA Koncept 6.6 Sail, and a Vector Canfire 38 cm fin.

Below are photos of Dave and Chris accepting their Prize Money. This is not the money you could be saving on car insurance. This is the money you could be winning at the Midwest Speed Quest!

Also pictured above is Ed Melechson of Omaha Nebraska. He recorded a 29.331 knot run. Although he did not win $200; he did record a number of personal best speeds including a 30.114 knot Two Second Run. Ed will be back later this year for another session. Ed was sailing a HiFly Free Ride Board and a KA Koncept 5.8 Sail.
Stay Tuned for PHASE TWO of the Economic Stimulus Package, which will start on June 9, 2009.

The Midwest Speed Quest runs on an open Schedule until October 15th, 2009
