I wanted to update everyone on the Early Results of The 2009 Midwest Speed Quest.

The Prizes at the end of the year are similar to past years: $1000 First, $500 Second, $250 Third, $125 Fourth, and $75 Fifth.

A new "Economic Stimulus Program" has just been announced for 2009. We will pay CASH when certain speeds have been recorded. Putting money into the pockets of the windsurfers now, will help with the recovery efforts!

NOTE; These stimulus funds will be awarded ON TOP OF the Prizes to be awarded at the end of the year!

PHASE ONE: Starts May 20, 2009

30 knots = $200 CASH

If two or more racers record this speed on the same day, the money will be shared among the winners.

PHASE TWO: Starts June 10, 2009.

35 knots = $500 CASH

PHASE THREE: To Be Announced!!!

NOTE; These stimulus funds will be awarded ON TOP OF the PRizes to be awarded at the end of the year!

There is some very cool video here, and the soundtrack is great

This is a large file, and the video will take about a minute to load.
