McKenzie Racing recently competed at the 2010 Bundy Thunder Spectacular (November 5th, 6th and 7th).  The team finished in first place in all 5 Unlimited Outboard races.  McKenzie Racing also qualified in pole position for the King of the River Race. 

 

 

King of the River is the last race of the event and only the boats with the quickest lap times over the weekend are invited into the race.  Team Manager of McKenzie Racing, Jamie Nelson said "this was the only race that we didn’t win, but we finished with a second place.  One of the inboard powered boats beat us; it had approximately 40mph on us and a horsepower advantage of around 1600hp."
