Missing a few , , ! LOL

I think our caravan will be going west on I69 and south on 53 and direct to pond on Thursday afternoon for testing. Any worries to this route? I'm hoping John (Doby) knows the way better than I do so we don't get screwed up. Missed the I53 exit in 2005 and drove around 4 ever like an idiot.

Terry,

Tom and I will be coming in from I-69. Do you know how far up Rochester Rd. is getting worked on? I was planning on coming down Rochester Rd. from I-69 to Army Rd. If that's not an option, we can get off I-69 at Lapeer. Then we'd turn on Curtiss Rd. from the West.

Thanks John, I've been mapping it out today. I get the construction stuff too. Lets say we go south on 24 instead of 59 to avoid some construction/road closures that Google & Terry mentioned.

The UIM Trophy that Bill Muncey won in 1972 stays at the lodge. The trophy is the property of the APBA and is on semi-permanent loan to the Elks. As long as we keep racing there, they can keep the trophy. If the race is no longer held, the trophy goes back to the APBA. The winner of the MMEU race will have there name put on a plaque on the trophy for 2013, and every year after that. The Michigan Cup trophy that you have goes home with the winning team.

thats AWESOME!!!!

[T.S.Davis]

I believe Mike went out and found a new Michigan Cup. We think the original is in a Cuban prison. The one Mike calls "the old one" is not quite as awesome.

So unrelated to the Muncey trophy. I think at least. I may have that wrong though.

The Muncey trophy will be awarded as directed by the Elks. That's their baby. Last time I talked with Brian he was leaning towards a sportsmanship award voted on by the racers.

We already have high points, team points, mister offshore. Sportsmanship has never been awarded though.

Honestly, I'm just looking forward to not having to work on anything for a weekend. Well, boats but that's not the same.

[T.S.Davis]
