  Head of the River Race - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Head of the River Race (HORR) is a rowing race held annually on the Thames in London on the Championship Course from Mortlake to Putney.
The race is only open to men's eights and is considered to be the peak of the head race season — attracting the top UK crews as well as foreign clubs.
Also raced over the same course are the Schools' Head of the River Race (SHORR), organised by Westminster School, the Head of the River Fours, sponsored by Fuller's, the Women's Head of the River Race (WeHORR), and the Veterans' Head of the River Race.

 Head of the River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Head of the River race is a rowing race, held as a procession race against the clock, with the winning crew receiving the title of "Head of the River".
Although most such races include the name of the local river or region in the title, such as the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston, Massachusetts, some races worldwide are locally referred to as Head of the River without an attached river name.
Most notably is the Head of the River Race, a competition for eights held on the River Thames in London, UK in March of each year.

 Steering Head Race Removal
The top race can be removed using a screwdriver or punch and tapping it out from the bottom of the steering neck with a hammer.
Because there isn't an exposed 'lip' of the bottom race to tap out the same way this is usually the problem area when it comes to replacing the races.
As the race cools it may fall out very easily or can be tapped out on the weld bead from the top of the steering neck.
