Posting results are important and I want to do it properly. Pictures worth a thousand words. Downloading some bad photography (my fault) well (check your zipper) and opening my car and trailer to unpack I have a days work ahead. If anyone has a P limited mono awards photo please post or send as that one I don't have.
Mic
I will get all the pics and results soon,

Yes killer site with a monster alligator who showed up during the raffle drawings. This gator was estimated to be at least 12ft long...it was a monster. I have some small ones in my pond in my backyard and I’m not afraid to go in as I like the feel of being in the cool water, it if this one was in it I wouldn’t even think about getting in or just being at the edge. But, the races were awesome. I’m trying to find the video of Luis’s, of OSE, boat submarine a couple of times. Once right in front of the stands and it was under for a good 5-8 seconds before it popped up. . . some good races to watch
