If my P-mono and Sv run as well as they did last friday, I should be somewhat competitive, but I quess that really depends on how fast everyone else is. lol

Did you guys receive my package yet?

[Ken Haines]

Thanks Steven Vaccaro

Hey Steve,
Yes we sure did receive your package, thanks a million. As I stated in an earlier post, all the support is very much appreciated by our club. This will certainly help cover some of the shortages on costs for this race. Maybe next year if we plan further ahead we may be able to get you to travel down here for the race.
Take Care,
Ken

What great gestures, this says a lot about the state of our current FE community, especially considering the economy.

WE did get a permit for one of our club members (Rick Workman) to stay the night at the pond for security so we can set up the pit areas ect.

The gen will be there around 10;00 sat sunday morning we will not be able to fire up any generators untill 9:00 sunday morning so make sure you have everthing charged or use the car battery to charge

we will have a vender there on sunday for food and drinks


See you in a few days

Can we bring our own generators? Just can't start them up before 9a.m. on Sunday? Correct?

Generators

We are providing power for noise reasons. We would prefer everyone use our power. You will need extension cords. Our Pond is in a neighborhood park , the last thing we need is to upset a neighbor over aloud generator and then eventually loose our lease on the pond. Please help us with this.
Thanks, Ken Haines

[sailr]

No problem Ken! I'm glad I asked the question. Can't remember the last time I went to a race that there weren't a bunch of generators running. I'll leave mine at home!!

[sailr]

Hey Hugh, ask around if anyone wants to share a room. I've got one all to myself at the Best Western right now. Willing to split the cost. I'll be in there around noonish tomorrow. Mike and Jeff probably about the same. What's your room number?

Jim

[hebner]

Room 125-S. I went by the race site about 6:30 didn't see any of the racers. I probably will go to lake about 10:00 in the morning. See you there.
