Past Cheat Races

The Cheat Race has a deep and rich history.  A history that is not bloated with impersonal numbers and times, but filled with ongoing stories, personalities and friendships that have developed over the last decade. There are story-lines still evolving as we speak today. Many of those boaters who were there in the beginning are still paddling today, racing alongside those who have recently discovered this event. From the rise and defeat of Roger Zbel, to the emergence of blazing fast young racers, to the evolving intense battle-lines between cross state boating clubs, the race has continued to grow into something everyone shares a small part in.
