Andrew Tate, driving the U-1 “Delta RealTrac” was second pushing the Madison team to a 5^th place finish. The race was awarded to J. Michael Kelly, driver of the U-12 “Graham Trucking” after officials determined after the race that Shane had violated the minimum 80 mph rule several times in the pre-race milling period. After reviewing on-board video, H1 Unlimited hydroplane officials said that Shane had indeed gone below the minimum speed twice and added a one-minute penalty after the race. Officials also reviewed on board video from Kelly’s race boat and determined that the penalty called during the race on Kelly for going under 80 mph was incorrect and his one-minute penalty was rescinded.
