And... There T<br />
Each day ended in a<br />
climatic marathon race,<br />
most laps done in thirty<br />
minutes around the<br />
perimeter of the course,<br />
so full-on speed.<br />
The flag drops, the motors roar and the jet boats<br />
race into a cloud of sea spray. Side by side ten boats<br />
blast off together for the first turn, barely able to<br />
see through the haze, jockeying for position at the<br />
first marker. The field spreads out as the boat zig and zags<br />
around tight corners into the 100-kilometer an hour straight<br />
away. Lap after lap the excitement builds as the winner<br />
gets the checkered flag. This was the scene at the three<br />
weekends of racing at Subic Bay to determine the JSAP<br />
FILIPINO NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.<br />
