Pete, it's a gift. Haha

Mike, Kabota Ken and I have storage figured out inside. We want to limit the amount of gear left out just due to foot traffic on Saturday. We could see 300 people on Saturday. We'll be policing the area but best to be cautious.

Race trailers space will be available down on the flats. Especially if Ken brings the futon, disco ball, and brass pole. I already cleared trailers with the Elks.

Buoy are painted one shot neon red. Finished those tonight. Crab floats this year. Mmmmmmuch more forgiving. Course goes in this Saturday.

[Jeff]

Terry you save yourself a lot of work and just give the trophies to the wisconsin guys. You did a few years ago.

[madmikepags]

well this New Yorker will have something to say about that!!!!!

[Doby]

And Kanadians!

[T.S.Davis]

We did but that was a tiny little thing. This race is around twice the size of the nats. Some of these classes will be tough.

[Jeff]

Terry, if you sass me I will start posting twice a day. We all know where that will lead.

[jaike5]

Terry, will you be holding the Nats next year ?

[T.S.Davis]

Way. We're already working on that and we haven't even finished this one.

Which hotel in the MMEU is closest to the pond?? Please help it's getting late. My passport is looked after.

Hey gang,

We have an official date. Wahoo!

We haven't come up with a class list yet but I wanted to make sure everyone knew early that there was truly going to be a Michigan Cup race next summer. It's safe to assume all the spec stuff will run and then we'll sprinkle in some big boat nonsense like the Cup races of old. Scale, open mono, open offshore. Not too many places to race an FE scale these days.

It will be at the Elks club again in Leonard, MI. Open water June 27 and racing June 28,29,30.

3 days of debauchery

Food available on site

Camping available on site (no hookups)

Built in banquet hall

Some very gracious hosts too. The Elks so enjoyed our racing nonsense in 2012 that they are planning to enter some races themselves next year. How cool is that!

We're expecting some serous competition and some serious hooligans too. I mean PAGS and I will be there fore sure so..............hooliganery covered. There is even talk of a few guest CD's that will keep us all playing nice. Names most of you would recognize. I'll confirm that when they confirm (it's early).

Just so you guys know how we ended up with this date. We wanted to make sure that anybody that wanted to bring kids was able to so it had to be after school got out and before they went back. For sure, bring the kids. There's a 99.999% chance of there being a kids class. Then we also wanted to dodge the local race events and the Gold Cup in Detroit. Ugh. It's lot of shuffling. The date is totally Midwest driven.

Anyway, keep your eyes peeled for this one. It's a destination you'll be talking about for years.

If you can't get to any other travel races in 2013 be sure to get to this one. Start working on your wives early. Bring them too. Heyyyyy.........what about a wives class? hehehe Have to think on that one. It could work. Don't a be a hater.

This will surely be the most fun allowed by law.

hey ray I'm staying at the Red roof inn in rochester hills, its about a 20-25 minute drive to the lake and about $60 a night. Red Roof is a Big chain and I imagine they would have handicap accessible rooms. Also ask for a AAA discount, it's %10 and they never ask for your AAA# even if you don't have one!!!!!
