    We don't offer any fuel classes at the Cup race but it's primarily due to our pond. We have one resident that gets pissed when I run the retrieve boat because it has a gas motor. Chewed me out more than once. He lives in the mansion on the hill and wants absolute silence 24/7. Ugh. He must hate when the Elks have a live band on the big deck.

    I think the more fuel guys that get exposed to us FE nut jobs the less they dislike us.

    "Meet my friend Doug........................ Speak softly. We don't want to provoke him. Don't look em in the eye! Good Lord man, you're going to get us killed................ See all those wires and crap?..........he's an eeelectric guy."

    Then once they spend a weekend in the pits with us they realize we're all the same. That's kinda what I've found with most fuel guys too. Sure, there are always one here or there that don't get the big picture but most get it. We're all just model boaters.

    It's pretty clear too that there's some sort of mental instability with electric guys that makes us entertaining if nothing else.

            13 hours of driving, with the last 10 going through Deliverance infested states (cue the banjos) only to wind up in Smocks backyard....I'd rather do something more enjoyable...like a root canal!!!!

            In all honesty, I just got off the phone with my racing cohort, its a definite possibility for next year.

              Put it on your to do list. You wont be sorry. It's got a Cup feel to it. Same kind of silliness. It is becoming a "must do" destination.

              We already have our FE hooks into these guys. We'll work on them to try some more stuff. P sport and Q sport maybe. Maybe a Q offshore? Got boats. Will travel.

              The only down side is how early in the season this is for us. No laps under our belts.

              It's 11.5hr from my house with no stops. Those banjos you hear are probably relatives of mine.

                    And so it begins!

                    Doby, don't worry about the banjos. It won't hurt, much. lol We'll take a few minutes out and hold you guys when you arrive.
                    We do appreciate the water you send our way. Did you call both your friends and ask them to flush as well?

                    We do need to talk about the 2017 Atlanta Spring Nats. while we have everyone together this weekend.
