The 15th Annual Tennessee River 600 couldn’t have turned out any better had we scripted it! While the weather was quite warm (especially in the locks!) the water was smooth as glass all week long! We kept waiting for it to get choppy but fortunately that never happened and it made for some of the most memorable riding we’ve ever had! We hope that everyone had as much fun as we did and we’re sure that we’ll be talking about this year’s event for many years to come!

We raised a total of $11,380 in contributions for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA)! We couldn’t be more proud of everyone for stepping up and helping out for such a worthy cause! Your generosity and hard work will help kids throughout the Tennessee Valley and will help to promote safety and training for what we love to do, riding our personal watercraft (PWC)! We have updated the Events & Fundraisers page to show the top 5 fundraisers for this year along with everyone’s time and speed that participated in the Buoy and Speed course.

While we look back at this year and remember how wonderful it was, we want to make next year’s event even better! So if you have any suggestions, comments, or complaints please let us know and we will read them all. And if you have any pictures that you would like to share with us for use in our Photo Gallery, please contact us and coordinate with Jason so that he can get them posted right away!

Lastly, we want to thank all of the wonderful sponsors, marinas, hotels, and especially you, the participants of this year’s event, for making the 2011 event something that we’ll never forget! We made a lot of new friends and can’t wait to see everyone again!
