F1 Powerboat race free to spectators comes to metro-east
The F1 Midwest Powerboat tournament will take place this weekend in Alton, Ill.
Qualifying begins Saturday at 10:20 a.m. with races later that day, with final heats finishing Sunday. The event, which is free to spectators, spans the Mississippi River and is viewable from Riverfront Park in Alton.
Four classes of boats will participate in six to eight races - F1 Powerboats, 12-foot tunnel boats, tri-hulls, and a type of small riding boat called a J-Hydro for racers aged nine to 16.
The event is expected to draw “20,000-plus spectators and bring in an economic impact to the region of over $2.5 million,” F1 said in a statement.

Nope, yep, & she is a pastor. Come on.
She has the face of the Joker. She is a fake. Reading through Scripture, a few passages stand out that directly speak to the role of women in the church: 1 Corinthians 11:3-12, 14:34-35, 1 Timothy 2:11-15 and Titus 1, 2. These passages are the foundation for the conclusion that women cannot be lead pastors in churches. She does this for $$$ money $$$ Google her home and other mansions she owns. Runs from this fake bible preacher.
I ate what looked like "hushpuppies" from Long John Silver's restaurant, but there was no comparison. They were simply delicious, whereas I can toss the hushpuppies to my dogs. They came from Granny's Kitchen in Cherokee NC, which has the best "ordinary" food I ever ate. I think a lot about that good food.
That's the guy from Beyond Scared Straight.
I was at the first three Cousin! And we had to cut the Ice lol Goodtimes!
911 is going to happen again with Biden’s open border. He has rolled out the red carpet for unvetted, undocumented people pouring into the country - all for power and control. You can bet America haters and terrorists are amongst them. It is outrageous.
This was like losing a friend when they closed. The building. I don't even like to look at that gas station.

Man this is heart wrenching.. RIP beautiful
❤❤❤😍😍😍 Well Welcome Home Soldier & Thank You For Your Service,
Ohhh come on! They r just as nuts as her!
Saddest part of this is that she was already below the impact zone of the tower but then was told to go back up and that’s when the second plane hit
Wow! Now that is cool.
😂😂😂😂
Yo quiero hablar con alguien en la oficina por favor
I support Joy and love Jesus.
Never forget that May 1, 2024 is a historic infamy for the United States of America, forever!
You deserve that and more. Those young men are real American men. God bless all of our veterans and Thank You for your service.
It breaks my heart how she resigned at 2:23 that she was going to die.
Her mouth freaks me out! And a con person bilking people out of their money
So much respect... Well deserved...
I feel horrible for her to go through this…
I know this guy what a great man
Thank you!
Speak.. "let my people go"
I heard this call before without the distortion. God rest her soul.
Heartbreaking to hear the fear in her voice. She tried to give a glue about what was happening. At the end, its sounds like she whispers, "it's a frame".
Freedom
I think the it’s a frame bit at the end was actually another flight attendant saying “it’s ok” because she was crying
Cell phones don't work at airplane speeds or altitudes
could have put more sound to this talked about the storm on this video not just record it
Poor kid is being misled.
So sorry Melissa. May your memory be a blessing 💔💔💔
An excellent training tool I trained on it very real scenarios.
You fill the void for me that was once filled by revered broadcaster, Paul Harvey. I wish history was taught this way to me in junior and high schools and college with your enthusiasm. I'm glad you are not at the lectern of some small private college. Lance, you impact many more of us with your channel. Thanks to both of you.
Beautiful to hear
I was there when it hit
God bless our Vietnam vets!! They deserve so so much more than they received!

So because dick lips here thought she was the hand of god and could control her employes every move she was part of the reason a complete lunatic decicded the only way he could keep his job and be with the person he had an affair with was to wipe his family out . Like the job and the money was probably the reason he thoughr he could get these woman he convinced himself no job no girlfriend . And next thing this sick sick idea started festering in his head because this yoke had him backed into a corner i dont care she is part of the reason cherri and them little boys are dead .
