NO- I have a life and a Family, so my time on this thing is limited.

I just looked again and limited cat was covered. Terry, if it gets another class on the water you can move me from cat to offshore. That's an easier boat for me to get ready.

Done, thanks a bunch!

Anyone got another Open Mono to run?

[Terry Keeley]

Need another Q Cat, Bob had to drop out...

Shaping up to be a great event, if you decide to come last minute let me know, we guarantee a great time!

Weather is looking good, maybe a weak system coming through Saturday but nothing serious, highs mid 70's and light winds.

Found a couple of sites to check border crossing times, check them out:

I'm very proud of all our NLMBC members, family and friends that worked tirelessly to host another great event for our guests. The racing was very competitive and the whole event was just plain a lot of fun.

Team Canada's three year reign over the "Can-Am Challenge" has been broken as Team USA prevailed this year with a combined total of 14,082 to Team Canada's 11,350. The "Can-Am Cup" was presented to Team USA who got a little wet in the process!





Team Canada's mascot "Barney the Beaver" was closely guarded this year so there was no kidnapping or other shenanigans.

Cindy Driver did however present NLMBC President Andrew Lane with a "Special" hat for a bet that was lost at the Gas Nats earlier in the year:





Randy Rap commissioned a new trophy called "The Little Beaver" for the contestant that traveled the furthest to our event. Tom Baffer Jr. came from the NYC area and IMPBA Hall of Fame member Steve Ball came from Ft. Wayne, IN but it was determined that Mike Paginelli was slightly further in New York that Tom. Here's Pag's kissing the Little Beaver:





Many contestants posted perfect scores in their respective classes but one actually had perfect scores in three and used them to capture the "Oneida Cup". Here's Randy presenting Tom Baffer Jr. with the cup for 2017:

We are tentatively planning Aug 11 & 12th next year so mark your calendars and we hope to see you then!
