When you set a world record for consecutive wins, the target on your back becomes
bigger with each passing day. For Team AMSOIL powerboat driver Terry Rinker, the
target grew to immense proportions after he won his seventh straight race at the final
event of the 2006 ChampBoat Series in Savannah, Ga. Seven months passed with the
weight of the world focused directly on the reigning champion’s shoulders, the target
growing larger and larger with each passing day of the off-season.

shoulders.
“We are excited about coming back to Augusta,” said Rinker. “We feel with the amount of
winter testing we did down in central Florida in the off-season, we can keep our winning
streak going into the 2007 season.”
Rinker was the top qualifier after winning time trials and earned a win in the first heat race
in Augusta. He would start fifth on the gate after a penalty in the second heat race, but quickly
made up ground and battled with the race leaders. After a red flag came out to restart the race,
the Rinker crew had to make a few adjustments to the lower unit after running over some debris.
A new prop and some smart driving pushed the AMSOIL/Rinker boat into third upon the
restart. Rinker maintained that position for the rest of the 50-lap final, ending the winning streak
at seven, but keeping Rinker on the podium for the eighth straight race.
“We had a little trouble with the handling after we ran over some debris,” said Rinker after
the race. “While we try to win every race, we still finished on the podium and had the fastest
boat in qualifying. Now that the pressure of the streak is off, we can go back to fine tuning the Rinker was looking for his
