For those that haven't traveled to a race before, it's mind-blowing to know that Howard just shipped 111 lbs of gear to come race with us. It's his 7th (?) straight year. This will be Proulx's 10th, and we're only at our 9th annual event.

Great stuff guys, wish I was joining you but will be rockin out w/ Kid Rock in Nawlins!!!! I will try my best to go to Cali for the Nats but to ship all my stuff for 1 day of racing (I would only come for the offshore day) then pack it all up andf ship it back is seems a little crazy to my wife!!!! I will definitely be at the Mi Cup and the Northern lights Open though.
We call ourselves the "Q"
Are you counting this as an appearance ?

And who could forget Doozie James driving his Taifun with the motor Ca'd to the bottom of his hull and completing an entire heat with his steering reversed (or that racer in the upper left calling in his bets to his bookie)

That's Whitehead working the soldering iron!
Is he hammer-heading round cells, or cutting a steak? I think of KW every time I solder, because I'm still using some type of liquid super-duper flux he gave me back in '09.

You're right. It's not even liquid anymore!
I texted KW. He's doing good and strongly considering coming to the '13 FE Nats.
Thanks to Leo Ho from Jetchopper 30 fame to help us out with our raffle! OP updated with sponsor website info.
Been a few years since I've been down there, but I finally convinced the wife she needs me to go away for a long weekend.

Dang, Lee. You've been really quiet lately. Glad to see you're back in the game! Did you get my new office address from Proulx?
The mid-west is representing this year!
OP updated with racer and sponsor info! Once again, we have some terrific sponsorship support for our race. Thank you to all!
Yes, the mid-west is representing this year. I might as well develop a team competition!
Great race you guys have put together!
Dave this looks like your highest attendance!
I like that crackerboxes will be in the arena..
New house a couple years ago has put a slight damper on boating. Plus the pond situation around here hadn't been good until we hooked up with the nitro club last summer. They even let the WI boys come and play. Badger nitro club let in electrics last summer too so I had to go there to remind Peterson that speed kills.
I did get the address from Dan.
See ya next week.
Does anyone know if the course is a NAMBA legal course?
Anyone else getting an itchy trigger finger? I know I am!

Not sure, David'll have the answer. Has a far pin on the offshore course close to the bank, Camarillo-style. Glad you're attending and representin' but the pickin's wont be as easy as at Legg
Itchy trigger finger ? OH YEAH ! You'll love this event & meet some cool folks as well.

Not a legal course. My guess is that it's 1/7th-ish, but we still just do 6 laps.
We're looking good for next weekend! We've got some weather coming in Wednesday, then blue skies for the rest of the week/weekend.
No need to arrive any earlier than 8:00 on Friday. Open water until 1:00.
Thanks Dave,
Looking forward to it.

I actually had slush accumulate on a few areas of my roof last night. I knocked some off, ran inside and threw it at my kids as they were thumbing their I-Pods.
The forecast is perfect for this weekend.
