Night Racing

I'm not sure if word of this got out so I'd thought I'd post it here. I like to talk to myself. lol

The SOWEGA gang will be testing lights on Friday night. One of these lights is good for four acres. The pond is three acres and they have three lights so the pond should be lit up like a stadium.
If the testing goes well we will be taking a dinner break Sat. around 6 or so and then the racing will resume. Dinner will be provided.

If you have gensets, cords, and lights for your pits bring them.

Thanks and I'll see ya at the pond.

They are big old classic hydros powered by stock Zenoah 26cc engines.
Like this one that I haven't finished yet. Maybe this winter.

I have about changed my mind on the power for this thing. The engine that I had for it has been modified and is now in my Stryker "Offshore Electrics" cat.
