Terry,

Have you decided on the classes that will be run? I would like to see P Mono or P Offshore.

[T.S.Davis]

Not yet Jay. We for sure will have P mono. I would prefer to run P spec offshore and skip P offshore. It's pretty much the same boats.

[BILL OXIDEAN]

This race sounds pretty live! I'll try to make it!;

[madmikepags]

Hey Terry any update???

[T.S.Davis]

Sorry Mike. MIssed this one.

We've been emailing back n' forth on a number of things for the club and for the Cup race. We have a meeting this Sunday where we should be pinning down our club dates and all the classes for the Michigan Cup. I think you will be pleased. We're making sure to mix in some man sized boat classes. Hope everyone is busy building raceboats. Srping will be here long before we're ready.

The pursuit of the Michigan Cup itself will entail forming 3 man teams. Each team member will declare 3 classes as his Cup points classes. No overlap of classes by those team members.

The Elks have decided to sponsor a high points pursuit. They intend to have a permanent trophy for high points that will be displayed at the Elks lodge for years to come. I think they are in it for the long haul. They really dig having us out. Anyway, high points will be calculated the same way the nats high points are. If you win, your name goes on the trophy for eternity. Super cool.

In addition! (I must share cuz I'm a touch fired up) I mentioned the Elks enjoyed our antics. They will have food and beverage available (for purchase) on Friday and Saturday. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Saturday afternoon there will a barbecue vendor on site into the evening. Sunday pancake breakfast by the boy scouts.

But wait! There's more! Saturday after racing......don't head for you hotel yet kids......live band. Still not enough to get you and your family to MI for racing? How about some full on barge lit fire works? It is the Saturday before Independence day after all.

If Ringling Brothers put on a race it might look like this.

Please set aside a section of the pit area for us Kanadians.

[D. Newland]

The only thing missing from this event is some type of gun activity! This event sounds like a flippin' hoot!!!!!

[T.S.Davis]

Well, you'll be missing Dave. Maybe next year.

I haven't kicked the trees too hard yet but I've had some real quality competitors hint that they wanted to come play with us. I hope it all pans out because this we be a fun time even if we didn't race at all.

[madmikepags]

Hey Terry are we to assume all classes are 4 rounds except where noted 2 and 3???? also looks like a great lineup, I actually have boats for almost every class!!!!! I just gotta choose now!!!????? are you gonna do the online signups with RC racing events??? Terry I sent u a PM

[T.S.Davis]

No sir. Sorry for the confusion. It will be on the flier. Classes are 3 rounds unless noted otherwise. We're not racing until dark.
