𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐘𝐎𝐔, 𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐗! 💙

This season, many of you saw the results, heats, and updates come across our Grand Prix America pages in real time — and that was thanks to the hard work of Alexandra Eacret. She went above and beyond her role as GPA’s scorer, keeping fans, teams, and followers in the loop every step of the way.

But Alex’s contributions didn’t stop there. Behind the scenes this past winter, she worked tirelessly to handle GPA’s paperwork, navigate the red tape, and make sure everything was in order for the 2025 season. She played a key role in finalizing our rule package, coordinating back and forth with multiple people to ensure it was spot on.

Alex, your dedication to GPA shows in so many ways — both on the front lines and behind the scenes. We appreciate you and are proud to have you as part of the Grand Prix America team! 🏁

The annual Madison Vintage Thunder event is scheduled for this weekend, Saturday and Sunday from 10a-5p each day.

Vintage hydros from different classes will be on the Ohio River in Madison, IN, showing what it used to be back in the day.

And both Miss U.S.’s, U-36 and U-2, are scheduled to be on the water as well.

Organizers want to thank the Ryker’s Ridge Volunteer Fire Department for providing fire protection for the weekend, and all first responders and rescue boat crews.

Without these folks, there is no event.

And it is FREE to watch!

Kelly went on to win his 18th career Unlimited race, tying him for 8th all-time with Steve David.

Tate won his 3rd National High Point Championship driver’s title.
Each have been for a different owner: Mike & Lori Jones, Miss Madison Racing, and BWR Racing and Bruce Ratchford.
