I am pretty sure the pond behind Home Depot is not part of parks. Any thoughts???

Hi paul,

the issue there is access, since hd is storing inventory in the parking lot behind the store.

I will continue on my quest to contact the owners of some land in an Industrial park in Manatee. The land is owned by a real estate magnate and held in a trust. It is a bit out of the way for the folks from the north and south though. Here are some pics of this site, and a map of where our most active club members live.

Alright guys......Only 10 days left to get your votes in. It's time for positive change in District 3. Let's make it happen! Your vote would be greatly appreciated.

Guys, do you guys race on the beaches in Sarasota, or is it bad like any other ocean water?

That is the same pond that I asked about a few years ago.

I saw two people running boats on this pond.
The pond is on the West side of 301 across the road from this address.

Larry,

I drove by that pond last month. Even drew out a course on it. I wonder how we find out about it, it's in an industrial park.

Hey Bill I ended up buying one. It turns out a friend of mine who used to own the indoor track in Plant City started a Quad company called Voodoo Quads. Check it out. It is about the size of a 12th scale pan car. 100_0169.jpg

I will be running this Sunday. Not sure where yet, but I will be running.

Going to a track meet Ray?

[RayR]

Too old for that Bill!

My plan is to resurrect Ackerman in the next few days. I will likely need some assistance, though. Dave, will need yoir weed wacker. Chris, will need the boat to reset buoys pn Saturday.

[bill34207]

Good plan Ray

[RCKong]

I don't mind helping out but wont make it up there till Sunday. I can bring a recovery boat if necessary - Chris still needs to come up with the key.

I don't want to rain on any plans for what I think would be a good thing for the club, but...
You may be fighting an uphill battle trying to set course markers unless the wind lays down a bit. http://www.usairnet.com/cgi-bin/laun...=KSRQ&state=FL

Brian, when we vacated Ackerman the lock went with us. Chris should have both of them. The trick will be getting it looped back into the gate chain. It may be a case of having to use the back entrance until someone can get a chance to talk to the SRQ commissioner(s).
