June 8, 2004 ~ Terry Rinker began his pursuit of a consecutive national Champ Boat championship with a fourth place finish at The Advocate's False River Championships in New Roads, LA June 5-6.

Preliminary timings during practice runs showed Rinker with a slight edge in his AMSOIL/Rinker Boats/ Blackhawk Racing entry. During the important time trials to determine placement on the dock for the final, Rinker clocked in at a respectable 32.80 seconds which was good enough for third position.

Thundershowers and lightning strikes cancelled Saturday's pair of 10 lap shootouts. Teams returned to the False River on Sunday morning for testing and running of the 10-lap events. It clouded up in the afternoon and shortly after getting to the water for the final the boats were put back on trailers because of dangerous weather. The weather cleared slightly after more than an hour delay and the boats were again lined up for the 40-lap feature.

Rinker left the dock clean, but back in the pack. A red flare was fired and the race halted to replace a corner buoy with about a third of the race remaining. The rain continued to fall and lightning lit up the murky sky. Rinker got a better jump off the dock on the restart and was set to grab third position. Congestion into the first corner forced Rinker to back off the throttle and fall into fourth position. The rough water and poor visibility caused by the storm hampered efforts. Rinker neither gained much ground nor lost much as he chased the third place boat. Rinker settled for a solid fourth place for the day.

Based on his finish and points earned for laps completed Rinker is third overall in Champ Boat points. The team travels Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan for the Kewadin Casinos River Rampage on June 19-20.
