First day of Thunder on the Niagara

The park was packed and so was the Niagara also. The noise of the racing boats reminded me of motorcycle races, and that I forgot to bring and use my earplugs to protect my already lousy hearing!! 

Now YOU get to enjoy the race and you won't have to cover your ears! ! More pictures will be posted Monday of Sunday's final race!

Included here are a few pictures of the fireworks which went off at dusk. These were photographed from about two miles away, so enjoy!

Hydroplane Boats are HERE

The teams are already here for the Thunder on the Niagara races starting tomorrow! Most of North Tonawanda's popular Gratwick Waterfront Park are parked and ready within the park, of course with drivers and teams included! It's finally going to be a great weekend, with minimal clouds and winds, of which the winds are very important to the welfare of the boat pilots, and the race itself!

Here's pictures of the boats all waiting to race in the Niagara River this weekend, photographed hours ago as the sun was setting!!! Don't they look like planes?
