Made the dock posts today out of 1.5"x11" companion flanges and 1.5" pipe. Bits n' pieces. Coming together
Anybody else having a flash back? Back in 2004 we had a Michigan Cup that was about the same size. We had a mix of the old guard and some fresh faces.
Then the following year we hosted the nats and it was the perfect storm. We had even more new guys. More old guys too. Hall of famers and pioneers. 62 in all. Guys that were spooky fast. That was the first race I'd ever seen Petersons mono hulls run. I remember thinking "yyyyikes". Or Doug Campbells personal LSH. Holy crap. The thrill of seeing Nayman who had not been to a nationals, beat the best of the best in P mono and setting a record in the process. Or the excitement of Ed Hughey's nephew for having placed in cracker box. Somewhere there's a pic of Pachmeyer (who's a giant) standing next to a little kid with the crackers. Priceless. The Hughey clan and Mr. Octura, Tom Perzanka himself made it out for the show. Tom came just to watch the nonsense.
This year we have some new racers and some vets too and well......I'm having a flashback. I hope we can follow the same pattern. Well, minus the storm. That was creepy.Noisy personComment

I was there 2004, 2005 I think. Still have the camp Dearborne parking stickers... Ed Hughey almost passed on his secrets to me of how he makes his cables... I said, "keep it, I can't do what you can do" That was great. Got my azz handed to me but, it was great! Nortavlag Bulc Comment
