Dear Quake on the Lake Community,

On behalf of the race committee we would like to sincerely thank all of you for making the return of this amazing event this past weekend a great success. From the fans that showed up on the shoreline (and the boats) to the race teams that came from far and wide, and the sponsors that stepped up with their gracious support, we truly could not have done this without every single one you.

When we decided to take on this challenge early this year, it was difficult to even set expectations. With so much time having passed since the last event, all we could do was remain hopeful in the community's desire for the event's return and confident that the powers at be had the trust in us to put on a safe, fun and engaging race. We are so grateful that both of these desires were realized, and the event has returned in such a successful way. We look forward to building off this year and making the 2027 edition of Quake on the Lake even better!

A special thank you to some of our key contributors: BCM Roofing for their dedicated support as our title sponsor. White Lake Township and the White Lake Police Foundation for their guidance and partnership. The Michigan DNR for entrusting us with the park. The entire race operations team including the officials, rescue team, support boats, cranes. And of course the Marine Prop Riders for the work done by the countless volunteers.

Every race takes an army to put on and we are very proud of what we have all been able to accomplish together. This was just the beginning, and we look forward to working with all of you for years to come at Quake on the Lake!

We cannot say thank you enough to everyone that did anything to make this event a success!!

Thank you,
Patti Hayes - Co-Chair/Race Director
Steve Read - Co-Chair

The S-1 Jones Junction TMSpecial and S-341 Three of a Kind went head-to-head all weekend long at Quake on the Lake! They pushed each other to the limit every time they hit the water.

🏆 The S-1 Jones Junction TMSpecial claimed the overall victory, but El Wood and the S-341 Three of a Kind fought back in a big way, earning a hard-fought win in Sunday’s final!

Expect this type of intense racing every time these two hit the water 🌊

We were fortunate enough to have our photographer at Quake On The Lake to capture some awesome photos! Thank you g-Force Photography!!!!!

Here is the link to the photos on his website: https://gforcepics.com/p777949975

Greg is very generous and his photos are free to download, his way of giving back to the racing community and fans!!!! The thumbnail pictures are low resolution, to get the high resolution images you must download them to your device. These photos are sized to print 4"x6", if you are printing and need a different size, please contact him through his website.

He only asks two things and these are a must for us sharing them....you MUST give him the photo credit if you are posting any of his photos and if you are posting them please download them first and post the full resolution photo, not the thumbnail.
