Greetings to ALL.

The race is shaping up nicely. There is a strong possibility that we MAY be doing shifting of a class or 2 to lighten the load on Sunday. As it stands right now there will be 33 heats on Friday, 39 on Saturday and 42 (soon to be 45 ) on Sunday!!

15 P-Monos, 15 P-Sport Hydros and 18 P-limited Monos !!! 27 heats just in those 3 classes.

IF a class gets moved we will try to not affect anyone's schedule but sometimes it's unavoidable.


Invoices will be going out next week!

There are still classes that are unsponsored so if you are considering sponsoring one now's the time to speak up. Thanks

Tom

Tom,

All signed up...question of the day do we have enough 1/10th scales to split vintage and modern? I have both....

John

The answer to that is yes. Just be aware that if vintage becomes a 2 boat class, it will be combined with moderns at the discresion of the CD.

[T.S.Davis]

180 entries. Come on Steve! We need to get your entries in too.

[Steven Vaccaro]

Three more racers all signed up.

My wife and daughter are coming. so we will take Saturday off to do something fun for the family.

Anyway to jockey p offshore to Friday or Sunday :-)

Here is how we currently stand with 10th scale:

Not sure if Jeff will get his boat done in time for the cup.

[Todd Fleury]

Those that have signed up for 1/8 scale, please remember it is a two day event.

steve a lot of guys run their p-monos in p-offshore so switching it to friday is probably not possible.

Maybe that was the idea

Actually we have 3 offshore classes and we tried to put them on different days

[T.S.Davis]

We even figured some guys would would run their P limited offshore in P offshore. It works. More often than not the offshore class isn't won by the fastest boats. You can go 55 for 7 laps and flip on the chop or go 49 for 9.5 laps and finish. Happens all the time.

I am getting stoked for this event, I got all the boats out yesterday and started going thru them. I've got a liitle more work than I thought I had but no building just some fixing, I've only raced 4 times since the last cup race and most of the boats I havent even run since the last cup race so there's some "maintenance" that needs to be done. But I should be ready to rock and roll by the time we get there!!!!!

Ok everyone, looks like only 7 more boats to go and
that magic number 200 will be a reality.

Terry maybe you can offer some table dances or something
to get the final extra entries signed up.

Oh yes and any word on the record situation ?
