***mmeu p shootout moves to north oakland elks lodge***

[T.S.Davis]

Response has been very positive to this move. There was some apprehension but nothing earth shaking or beyond our abilities.

We'll be getting new fliers together with the location, additional classes, and details. The dates are all the same.

Our orignal plan was to run the following classes in the 3 heats Saturday/ 2 heats Sunday format:
P Limited Sport
P Limited Hydro
P Limited Offshore
P Limited Mono
P Limited OPC
MMEU Stock SV27
Q Sport

For you travellers we're adding some classes to make it more worth your travel bucks.

Additional classes
P mono
1/8 scale
Open mono
Open Cat.

Bring out your big boats.

The Elks are talking about available breakfast/lunch/dinner. They've even tossed around the possibility of entertainment after racing. Maybe a bonfire
or even a live band. Holy smokes. We're just getting into logistics with them. Stay tuned.

Guys, we need your help. We really really want to foster this relationship. A good turnout will help to do that. This could turn into the premier race destination in the Midwest. That benefits all of us. If you can find a way to fit this race into your schedule please try to work it out. If there is something we can do that would help sway your decision to attend please let us know.

I'll be posting something like this everywhere.

I know. It seems to be panning out about as cool as it reads too.

I think I have Mad Mike PAGS convinced. Big boat super freak. I'm hoping to hear from our Candian freinds too. There are a number of big boat guys up there that own P limited boats too.

Our focus is still on P limited classes but our dream (maybe just mine) is to bring back the spectacle that was Michigan Cup racing. Something for everyone to race but also a chance to showcase the guys that are truly out of their minds. I mean that in the best way of course. This venue IMO is the first step toward that end.

Maybe I should have been a circus promoter or something.

So ahhhhhh......what have you got going on August 17th Mike? What about you Darin? Not to work for us either. We'll do the heavy lifting for this gig. Sure would be cool to get the P limited pioneers in for the P Shootout. Think about it. A long weekend, racing, acting a fool. Perhaps an adult beverage in the evenings. You know you want to.

[T.S.Davis]

OH How about a ProBoat vs Aquacraft grudge match!?!?

[Doby]

So when and where is this........??

[T.S.Davis]

Here she be. I think I have it now. I'm attachment challenged.

John, I was also working on Paganelli to get him to your race in July. Not sure if he's in yet or not. Still gathering the troops from our gang too. Should be able to yap about that at practice tonight. I'll try to post everyones classes I'm sure of on your race thread soon.

......um tangent. You guys need to make a run for the border in August.

[Doby]

Ummmm........it looks like Chris, Daniel and myself will be.....

Cool. In for Open mono for sure. Hey don't forget the Ohio race too. 15th and 16th of September. I'm going to model the classes after the P Shootout. Why mess with success. Looking for big boats too. Open classes with the gas and nitro guys.

[T.S.Davis]

Howard, I'm trying to finish my Q rigger for your race. I've bitten off a huge gob of work for myself though so who knows what I'll be able to get done. I didn't forget about ya Howard. I even mentioned your gig it to PAGS. I also sent him a note today with all three of Londons dates. Can you feel the love toniiiiiight. I have not been drinking by the way.

It's time for us to stop screwing around and start building racing again in the Midwest.

I may have stumbled into a hicup on my end. Give me a few days to make absolutely sure I haven't screwed the whole thing up. IN my excitement I skipped an important step. I'm still very confident that this is THE site but I don't want any surprises last minute.

ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ............(insert snoring sounds here)......

[T.S.Davis]

hehehe Elks are supposed to meet tomorrow evening. Should have confirmation soon.

I should have mentioned. We're having a P shootout with or without the Elks. Just might not be able to run the big stuff if something goes south. Not too worried though. Waiting on paperwork basically.

Sorry John. Still kicking the bushes. One hurdle over. One to go.

[T.S.Davis]

Gotta get the new flier ditributed but so you guys all know. We're a go for take off at the Elks pond. All of the residents are on board. They'll likely be at the Elks lodge to watch the action too.

Headed to London in the morning so I'll get back on this as soon as I kin.

Looks like a Michigan Cup is next in 2013? I'd love to make the trip back. This time with a couple of extra racers.
