My thanks to Tracy for taking these photos. There's more, but 590 pictures are TOO many for me to upload.

For those out there that have never been to a Michigan Cup, I hope that these may have inspired you to give a trip to Michigan a strong consideration.

And a Great time was had by all !!!!!

[Ken Haines]

Tom,
Great Pics....

Count my son Fede and me in for 2016 !!

[T.S.Davis]

I have 500 plus that I've been sifting through. There's no rhyme or reason to what catches my eye so just deal with it. I rtied to rename the files what I thought they were when I looked at them.

View from the sky. There's a few tents missed still in this shot
138675

Big house on the lake. We only hear from him when he needs to yell at ME!
138672

Humble residence
138671

This gets more traffic after racing I think. Weather sucked so spectators were down.
138674

Group shot

More site pics...

Think this was the opening drivers meeting. Freddy preach'n.
138677

Peeps driving. Looks like left to right Tom Castellani, Ava Paganelli, Mike Paganelli, Bob Zola, Don The Moose"Hineman, and Chris Harris. There's another behind Bob I can't make out. Chris was our CD for the entire race. Did a killer job too.
138676

A few of John Einsteins boats..s
138678

This is the view we woke up too each morning. Usually there is a mist to go with it.
138679

Our launch dock. Works pretty well. Although we can't guys to go in on one dock and out on the other.
138680

[T.S.Davis]

There were boats too. Honest.

Howard's cat is terrifying.
138681

Smock puts out enough rooster to block out the sun
138682

Ken's Ricco could rip a hole int he fabric of time. On water.......you'll want to be in front of him if you can get there
138683

Danny's Geico in full flight.
138684

10th scales ready to go out.
138685

[T.S.Davis]

T Hydro
138686

Big ole' mono
138687

I think Doug just brought Don so that he could carry that pig around the pits for him.
138688

Same boat IN the water
138689

Danny's P limited aired right out
138690

[Doby]

Speaking of 2016......??????

[T.S.Davis]

Some peeps

Dan is new to MMEU but not to Fred an I. We hung out in our high school years. We actually got reacquainted on Facebook.
138691

Don Huff carrying that thing again
138692

Smock
138693

John and Pete chill'n.
138694

Ken Haines eyeing up Mike Balls boat.
138695

[T.S.Davis]

Fred's son
138696

My son. Hangs with me a lot so expect him to be a tool in no time.
138697

We've raced all over with Ray. We always saw the same thing. Him trying to see around legs and railing. So we built him a spot just for him.
138698

Pete Z plucking fat boat from the water.
138699

Fred Siewert. The hardest working man at any of our races.
138700

[T.S.Davis]

We rarely get to race each other. Tom loaned me his P sport and Ty ran mine. I beat him this heat.
138701

Here you can see me leading but Ty has the lane only a tic behind
138703

But not this time! That's me on the inside.
138702

Here it appears I'm thieving something from Toms pit. Entirely possible. I did find 2 speedo and a 1527 that belonged to him in my boxes at the end of the season.
138704

Tom and PAGS on the drivers stand.
138705

[T.S.Davis]

Smock gave my son Tyler crap all weekend. As it should be
138706

Ken Haines winning yet another award. Truth told I'm not sure which one in this pic. He did really well this year.
138707

Doug and Ken launching boats for the kids class. Fede and Landon both raced pretty well for as little experience as they have. We had a number of racers under 15. They were all class acts and I personally found it really encouraging that there is a next generation of racers. These kids are the future.
138708

Fred and Marc C. Also known as "The Hobbiemaster". Zola once told me he'd had his first name changed to "The". If you spend much time around RC and Marc you'll pick up that the moniker fits him perfectly.
138709

Uncle Ben looking like a deer in traffic. New to MMEU this season. Should give him the most improved driver award. Started rough for him in 2015.
138710

[T.S.Davis]

"Are you sure? How can that be?"
"Yeah, look right here. Says you won"
138712

"Thanks man"
138711

Ava Paganelli the queen of offshore
138713

The Cup. I trust this will be delivered back to Mi in 2016.
138714

Losing the cup did not set well with at least one of our younger drivers. I may have to build some more boats.

[T.S.Davis]

Sorry everybody. Looks like Tom and I were drawn to some of the same pics. I just labelled em different.
