Rinker Wins Second Straight
Defending Champ Beats Field in Cincinnati

Cincinnati, Ohio ~ In Terry Rinker’s 2005 Championship season, the Floridian took hold of the ChampBoat Series by winning the first four races of the season. That winning strategy has carried over to the 2006 season as Rinker followed up his opening round win in Bay City, Mich. with a victory at the Grand Prix of Cincinnati last weekend.

The Team AMSOIL driver of the yellow #10 boat was the fastest qualifier on the Ohio River course on Saturday. In Sunday’s final, Rinker battled for second place behind pole sitter Shaun Torrente. But a restart and a mechanical problem for Torrente allowed Rinker to restart the race out front, leading to his second win of the season.

“Shaun has been fast all season and will be a factor the rest of the year,” said Rinker. “But, in order to finish first, you must first finish”

Terry Rinker’s brother, Randy, also competed in the Champ class at last weekends race. The rookie driver pushed himself to his best race of the season, crossing the finish line in fifth.

The ChampBoat Series returns to action this weekend as the circuit makes its turns on the Mississippi River in downtown Minneapolis as the headlining show for the annual Minneapolis Aquatennial. Time trials and heat races will be on Saturday with the finals scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
