Hey Terry what is Kids mono? is that LSO boats or P-mono?

[T.S.Davis]

P limited mono. Same as last year.

[madmikepags]

ok great

[Ken Haines]

3 Rounds

Horray....3 Rounds....peace & tranquility.

Can I hug you now or should I wait till we have a few at the ELKS ?

[D. Newland]

Come on, Ken! When are you going to put on your big boy pants?

[T.S.Davis]

Sorry Dave. The blistering pace is less than satisfying to some of us. Granted you get to run more times with less boats. That's good if you have to fly in for a race. But if you want to run a lot of boats less times the 4 rounds is a killer. It's tough on the hosts too. It can amount to a 20% increase in heat counts for the day. We want the variety without the chaos. Adds to the show aspect. You kinda have to weigh out who your expecting and make sure everyone is getting something worth coming for. We ran 4 rounds all summer and the guys hated it. I think I've been to 2 nats with 4 rounds. Might have been only one though. It's okay I guess.

For me.........and part of the MI way is to have a race that's more than a race. It's an adventure. It's a spectacle. It's a showcase for a bit of this n' that. It's it's it's IDK.....an event. Sort of like a horrible car crash. You want to look away but you just can't. haha ............should probably switch to decaf this afternoon.

Ken, bring the pole and your disco ball. I'll get Nayman to bring his chaps.

[madmikepags]

It's Festivus for the rest of us!!!! "I'll get the pole outta the crawl space"!!!!!!!!

[D. Newland]

T-I know. Just ribbin' Ken. He wouldn't have peace and tranquility if you ran a 1 round race, but it might get him to bed before midnight.

[T.S.Davis]

3 rounds or 5 rounds. He's still going to run every class there is. He's the only racer I've ever seen that required a crash helmet. I'm thinking about dropping a turbine fire pump in the drink just in case with him around.

Not to worry Dave. I'll be sure to bust his jewels in your absence. It's a big job but I'm up to it. No free passes here.

Plus, I landed an official contest director last night. Alan Nayman will be our delegated course CD so nobodies jewels will go unscathed.

[madmikepags]

wow alan nayman!!!!! cant wait to hang w him again!!!!!!

[T.S.Davis]

Talked to Nayman last night. I think I have him talked into firing up an 1/8 scale.

The registration is up. Let the beatings begin.
