Leg 1: South Padre to Mustang Island
The Great Texas starts today at 10 am with a 100 mile long leg from South Padre Island to Mustang Island. Follow all the action Live today on the GT300.com web site. We will have Live Streaming of the starts, live tracking of the boats and Live streaming of the finishes. We hope also to broadcast a Happy Hour review with some of the lucky skippers at 9 pm tonight.
Big air is forecasted for today’s leg. Will the leg record of just over 6 hours be eclipsed this year? It could definitely happen with the big boats leading the charge.
The forecast is for 10-15 in the morning increasing to 20-25 later in the day. With the wind out of the southeast, it looks like a big sleigh ride straight north.
The tracking, sponsored by Trapout.com, will allow you to watch the entire fleet marching up the Texas coast. You can click on a boat and see the speeds that they are recording. Checkout Zhik 1, Zhik 2, and Cat Alley to see if they guys are up in the high 20’s on the speed charts.
