You will all be happy to hear that I purchased a new battery for the rescue boat today. Bill has it now and will be topping it off for its maiden on Sunday.

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

While Im thinking about it, can everyone post what classes they have boats for and typically plan on running at Ackerman? Not a list of what your running Sunday, but in general what you have, wether your bringing it Sunday or not. reason being, Id like to get back to the run sheet that Brian and I started working on that fell thru the cracks so that on race days we actually have a run schedule of what class is running when. I dont know about you all but Im getting a littel tired of yelling all over the place to find out "what are we running now". It would be nice to have a set up run sheet.. ie, LSH at 10, Tunnel at 10:15 etc etc. that way we all know whats next. Obviously we dont have to follow it to a T, but it certainly would be a nice guideline.

Also, IMO tunnel and Hydros may be nice to go first on the list. Maybe followed by LSO, P-mono then maybe STD, Q then the bigger stuff.. PTD, Whatever Bills big mono runs in.. S is it? So ideas on run order are more than welcome... and I probably left some out that we run as well. And obviously, there are quite a few that we dont run and may start... ie, Ive heard rumor from some about unlimited Hydro?

This Sunday Id like to try and get the CD player, PA and count down CD going correctly. I have a CD thats broken down into tracks so we can skip pit times etc if need be. I also have one thats on a 15 minute loop, but a buzzer in it is wrong and I have to re-do the entire thing because the file was on my old computer when it crashed.
Anyway, because id like to try and get this going w/ the cd etc, I probably wont be bringing much to run. May just bring my twin drives.

Does anyone have a spare small fold out table we can put the cd player etc on????

So let me know what you think about the run sheet and lets see if we can get juuust a little more organized for our race days.
