Best race ever. Failing miserably but having a scary good time.

Yesterday Mike Ball set the record for Q sport and held it for approximately 6 minutes until PAGS upped it by .02 seconds. Both refused to apply for the record even though we teched the boats.

Well that was a hoot ...... I think pags ate the two sheets of acid and the locals kept the weed and meth away from us crazy amp eaters once they saw what we were up to... What a great bunch of host the elks are as well as the Michigan team. My open mono just had a wire come off so the motor is not gone .... phew! 1/8 scale fires up on 2p but not 1p ...? wtf... so just gotta see what I can salvage from the submersible p-mono. Thanks, again for the great weekend, cu next year at the your Nats.
Cheers, Jay, Deb, Iain.

Thought I saw a lot of weird things at different races...today we had to stop the heats for a bit due to a deer on the course...pics will follow in the next few days.

Good times. Nice photos Bob...and a featured shot of 'The Pearl' to boot! Thanks! That was an impressive fireworks show Saturday night. Definitely wasn't a cheapy. Some high dollar explosions, and I'm not talking about the boats!! There were some early fireworks in my tent and I think Ray had a BBQ going in his!!
