Probably better not...

Too much racing for meeeeeeee. Spring nats the weekend before and then this same weekend Ty and I have a scout camp out and a club race. Working on a cloning machine in the basement.

Think you'll be doing the fall trial too?

As cool as it would be to have the great Darin Jordan in Flint, man that is a LONG drive.
If you decided to come you could always ship your boats to one of us and fly out.

I am not sure I will have my stuff ready, but still trying.... Regardless, I will be up there sometime.

I pulled the power out of the P mono to run P Sport on Sunday. So I have nothing ready.

Bring that P-Sport boat up... The current number isn't what is should be...

Later,

I should but I've never run this thing on this setup. I put it in the led sled. I'm expecting it to be nearly un-driveable. Still runs well but it's a tank. Not much of a time trial boat. Half falling apart. I need to get going on a Pearl. Just haven't had time.

I have time to get it wrong at the club level.

See y'all tomorrow, weather looking good. :rockon2:

[Terry Keeley]

Thanks to the FAST crew the site is all set up and ready for the weekend. Weather's looking good! :banana:

[Fluid]

Good luck guys, we're all rooting for some strong records....

Another great weekend thanks to the FAST crew Mike, Mark & Mikey, without these guys these weekends just wouldn't happen.

The weather was nice for this time of year but we had a nagging 5-10 mph breeze from the east most of the day Saturday that kept the water rough all day. Sunday was better with some good water at times and a few stuck around to shake off the winter rust.

FAST member Mike Nowicki had his new A (.12) hydro running in the 80's on it's first weekend out, very impressive. Scott Tonak ran many 10.5 sec. laps with his Backlash LSG Sport hydro, just 1 sec. off the oval record.

FAST member Mark Stein had his Mutt humming and ran a "lazy" 23.2 sec. oval.

Shawn Swain braved the conditions with his Q Cat trying for his 100 patch and ran 92 and change the "long way" though the traps.

Mike Stevens came out Sunday and ran his 67 and twin Roadrunners to some hot laps.

Dave Murany ran his beautiful new 67 Roadrunner getting ready for the upcoming season.

Our National Hydro Director Mike Betke dropped by Saturday for a visit, good as always Mike.

Looking forward to the Fall!
