The “5 To The 5” is sorry to announce that due to Ohio river flooding, the Madison Vintage Thunder for this coming weekend has been officially CANCELLED.
Currently, the river is nearly up to the regatta judges stand and the pit/crane area is underwater. Additionally, the river is not expected to lower in time for the event that was scheduled for this coming weekend Sept. 22 & 23.
We appreciate every ones support and we apologize for any inconveniences. We hope that everyone can understand that sometimes Mother Nature has different plans. And should there be any question, the answer is, yes… we are already working on next year’s event !
We hope you will attend in 2019!

Announcing the third annual Madison Vintage Thunder – hydroplanes in Madison, Indiana.
A few vintage hydroplane owners formed a club called “5ToThe5”. This group will put on the third annual “Madison Vintage Thunder”. With support of the Madison community, the group obtained the A.P.B.A. sanctioning necessary to sponsor vintage hydroplanes on the Ohio River. The event sponsors are expecting between 40 to 50 hydroplanes this year to provide spectators with hours of hydroplane action on the water.
Everyone is invited to the Madison, Indiana riverfront on both Saturday and Sunday, September 22nd and 23rd.
FREE Admission for the public (donations will be accepted).
Here is a 15 second video promo for viewing.
