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.

    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.
