Do we have to attend both days, or can we attend just one day?

It's not like that Todd. There isn't even a registration required. You show up and pay yer dough and they put you in the rotation. Eazy breezy. Just don't get in a hurry. Time trials include some of sitting and waiting. Nature of the beast.

......does allow plenty of BS time though. Right up our alley. Bad things is.............we can't fib about how fast we are. They'll have proof we're BS'n.

All "spot on" as they say, except for the fibbin' part. I've seen you MMEU guys' stuff and it's fast!

Thanks Terry and Terry. Just wanted to make sure. I can't be there on the 1st, but will be there bright and early on the 2nd.

[Terry Keeley]

Only two weeks!

"Won't be long now". We'll go to the back up date by Thurs at 6pm if the weather looks bad.

We've got a couple boats to play with now. One is worthy. One is very green.

Cool... P sport hydro is out there and ready to be lowered. I will be really interested to see where it stands at the end.

[T.S.Davis]

Yeah, we know someone that thinks he has it locked up but you know how it is. Sometimes the math means jack squat.

[T.S.Davis]

I think it's my fault. One time back in 2008 I remember a sunny day in Flint. Every other time I've gotten near that site it's been rain and wind.

Maybe they'll change the forecast before the end of the day today, It is MI after all. Could be 80, sunny, and snowing yet today,

[Terry Keeley]

Well that low pressure is supposed to hang around all weekend creating an east wind (bad direction for Thread Lake) and rain so we have decided to cancel this weekend and go next weekend rain or shine. See ya'll then!
