From the Imperial Valley Press:

Ross Wallach, president and owner of RPM Racing Enterprises, says he’s heard all the rumors and talk about the Salton Sea being a dead sea, but this weekend he plans to show how alive it really is.

For the first time since the 1970s, speed boats will take to the sea as they try to break and establish new speed records.

“I’ve heard people talking about the sea, but I’ve been down there and I know there’s plenty of uses for the Salton Sea,” Wallach said. “This weekend we figure on having between 50 and 100 boats and I think we’re going to see a lot of records set.”

Officially called the “2008 Salton Sea Speedweek presented by Centurion Boats,” the event will run Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Salton Sea’s recreation park in the North Shore area. It will follow rules and guidelines set by the American Power Boat Association and the Union of International Motonautique.
