Spring Boat Shop Tour – 21

U-21 Shop

The U-21 shop is in a peaceful setting Southeast of Seattle

Go Fast , Turn Left Racing’s shop is in the Maple Valley area, Southeast of Seattle, in one of the most picturesque settings of any shop in  motorsports.

Owners Greg and Brian O’Farrell have assembled enough race boats, trucks and related equipment on the property that the crew refers to it as the “Hydro Ranch.”

Brian Perkins & U-21

Driver Brian Perkins and crew have the U-21 ready for a fresh coat of paint.

The collection of buildings down the driveway past the tennis court and duck pond contains several limited and unlimited hydroplanes in various stages of construction and repair.

In one of the bays of the main shop, the team’s primary race boat has undergone fairly routine maintenance during the off-season and is about to get a new coat of paint.

New U-21 Rear

Work continues ona new boat which the team hopes to debut in 2013

In another bay, construction continues on the team’s  much anticipated new hull which may debut in 2013.

In 2012, the team expects to run an abbreviated schedule – joining the Air National Guard H1 tour at the Lamb-Weston Columbia Cup in the Tri-Cities the last weekend of July with sponsorship from the HAPO Community Credit Union.

The following week, the U-21 and driver Brian Perkins will again represent Albert Lee Appliance at the 2012 Seafair Race in Seattle.

O'Farrell 5 Litre

Brian Perkins will also drive the team's 5 Liter hydro.

Perkins says he has mixed emotions about missing part of the 2012 season and says, “I love this team and driving for Greg and Brian and look forward to racing as much as we can, but with everything we went through last season and the sponsorship situation right now, a little time off could be good for all of us.”

To help fill the void, Perkins and friends will campaign a 5 Liter hydro in the Northwest which the O’Farrells purchased and refurbished during the off season.  The boat has sponsorship from the Snoqualmie Casino which will also be on board the U-21 as an associate sponsor.

Albert Lee Display Boat

The Albert Lee Appliance display boat is a former Pay N Pak - Winston Eagle.

So fans of this popular team will have a chance to cheer for them at the Washington State races and may see them on the water with a brand new boat in 2013.
