PORT NECHES RIVERFEST POWERBOAT RACING

09/15/2024

good evening to all of you. I hope everyone is well today. I know that the racers that participated in Colorado races this weekend are all safe and races are finished

But I just like to ask everyone to lift Carleton Callahan, a dear friend of ours and a friend to lot of people in the Racing family --to please add him to your prayers.
We have been updated today that he has suffered from a massive heart attack on Tuesday and is in the Woodville Heights hospital in Lufkin, Texas and they are doing everything they can and but he's not doing well.
We want to lift him up and his family as they all sit and wait for news of improvement for Carleton
His son's and his parents and Betty are all there by his side for him.

thank you, and God bless all of you and keep you safe . 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Exciting news for all F1 Powerboat fans! 🏁 The 2024 calendar has been released, and we can't wait to see who will come out on top this year. Will Terry Rinker defend his championship title, or will Dylan Andersson get his revenge? And let's not forget about Chris Rinker, who will be giving it his all to beat them both.

With 6 confirmed races, including the kick-off at Riverfest- Freeport, Texas on April 27 and the final race at Roar of the Rockie in Windsor, Colorado, this season is sure to be filled with adrenaline-pumping action.

Three races are still (TBC) to be confirmed, so stay tuned for more updates on those. In the words of Tim Seebold , "I’m very proud of our growing calendar year after year. Returning to our beloved sites while adding 2 new fantastic venues that will become a staple for the series for years to come."

Get ready for an epic season of F1 Powerboat racing! 🚤💨

sharing an update

Hi everyone, thank you for all the love and support we've received over the past few weeks. It's truly amazing how many lives Bobby touched. Many folks have been asking about memorial services for Bobby, we have finally found a date.

Tracy and I will be hosting a Celebration of Life for Bobby at our house on Saturday July 22nd. As I'm sure most would assume, Bobby would want a party, not a funeral. We plan to cater food, have a DJ, share unlimited stories and memories and Celebrate the Life of Bobby with friends and family.

We'll be sending out a Facebook invitation soon which will include all the details. Please try to RSVP to the invite so we can get an approximate head count for food.

Additionally, on Sunday July 23rd, in accordance with Bobby’s wishes, we will be spreading his ashes "in the western basin of Lake Erie at the Toledo Harbor Light". We will also be sending an invitation for this event so we can secure enough boats to carry friends and family wishing to join us.

Please feel free to share this post and the coming invitations with others who may not be on Facebook.

Thanks Everyone,
Ryan & Tracy
