If you got time to relax - you need another boat

Larry

[rayzerdesigns]

well looks like I will be making this event...someone might have to hold my hand..lol

[tjcast]

Great to hear that Ray

[madmikepags]

The cup will be a rocking race again this year!!! To me this is the premier FE event of the year!!!

[Ken Haines]

BTW, you don't need to run every class from N to T, there is a thing called relaxing in between heats... for some that is...

Ok.....someone please explain to me how to not enter every class that I have a boat to race.
Apparently I have no concept of this relaxing thing that you speak about..........hmmm

Terry,
(1) I like the Q Hydro swap for T sprint idea....a much more fun class.
(2) Still hoping for some Kids classes for my step-son, I understand you need more entries.
(3) I will run any N2 class if that helps .....although it does not really matter to me
(4) I am assuming that you will bring the pads of butter ?

Getting excited for the fun again.....I really have enjoyed the past 2 years at your race.
Ken

Only thing I'm peaved about last year was missing the draw for one of those build/setup boards you donated to the draw. Home depot sourced a simple square piece of Corian for me for a mere $240.00 Pfffft! Forget about it... lol... If we were all as organized as you Ken, running a gazillion classes would be easy right?

[Ken Haines]

Hi Ray,
I will see what I can do for another setup board....no promises, but I will try

[ray schrauwen]

Muchos Gracias Ken, thank you!

[Doby]

Only thing I'm peaved about last year was missing the draw for one of those build/setup boards you donated to the draw.

You lie...you were peeved at everything and everyone last year..Terry- to loud, Bob- to tall, Tom -to quiet, Pags -to many kids, Daniel -to much beard, Chris-couldn't understand him, water - to wet, clouds -blocked the sun, to sunny -need more clouds, Ken-to many classes, grass -to tall, Elks-to accommodating.....

Me well I'm perfect so you couldn't complain....

You forgot ---098.jpgpolice wannabe

[Doby]

Are you referring to Ray or Tom in the background?

[T.S.Davis]

Haha. That pic was minutes before that boat burst into flames in a blaze of glory.

I can't promise you guys great racing but I can promise you'll go home thinking you had more fun that should allowed by law.

I'll start working on Brian to bring back the fireworks. How cool was that!

[madmikepags]

yes fireworks were sick!!!!!

[T.S.Davis]

It was a cost thing this passed year. Maybe a fund raiser? IDK.
As cool as that place is its still no cash cow.

[Doby]

When do the sign-ups start?

[madmikepags]

I signed up allready

[madmikepags]

[Doby]

I hope they add those classes...

[T.S.Davis]

Well that explains a lot. That display we had a couple years ago was 3k. Yikes.

[T.S.Davis]

John, are you guys staying on site? I could totally see us adding those classes. The heats will start on the party deck at 9:30 pm. I can not promise I'll be able to hold my lane by the third heat.

[Doby]

Daniel and I will be getting rooms at a hotel this year...its only 3 nights as opposed to a full week last year....but staying late for those classes sounds fun.

[tjcast]

Friday and Saturday nites starting at 9:30 on the party deck will be:

P-Limited lounge chair

P-Limited 12oz. curls

and for the really gutzy

Q-Sport (last person standing) Shots - one every 2 minutes

[Todd Fleury]

Those are classes I could win! Now I'm angry I can't make this!

[ray schrauwen]

Friday and Saturday nites starting at 9:30 on the party deck will be:


Q-Sport (last person standing) Shots - one every 2 minuets

This I'm in for but, only if there is 40 Creek Barrel Select or 40 Creek Copper Pot on the Menu.

If I bring a bottle of 40 creek and donate it to the lodge, will this fly? I'll pay twice for my own whiskey just so's I can get what I want and let you guys taste the finest Canadian Whiskey (if not the finest in N. America) at my favorite venue.

BTW, I'm only out IF I fall out of my wheelchair!!!

[T.S.Davis]

Q-Sport (last person standing) Shots - one every 2 minuets

Minuet - a slow graceful dance in 3⁄4 time characterized by forward balancing, bowing, and toe pointing?

Um.......what?......just.......um......no. Plus I haven't had to race hung over in many many years now.

Ray, I don't think your chair is Michigan Cup legal. I'll have to check the rule book on that. We could maybe make a special provision and put it on the flier.................for some small fee.

I still say we need to have a target contest where we roll Ray from the top of the hill and launch him off the ramp to the drivers stand. First guy to hit the start buoy (with Ray) is crowned inter galactic champion of the underverse. "You keep what you kill" Riddick reference for the true super nerds.

No worries Ray. We'll pour you and your chair full of poly foam before the launching begins.

Wow Terry,
Your mind sort of runs all over the place, like Mork from Ork.
How do you turn it off to get any sleep.....hmmm
I guess that is reason for drinking

[T.S.Davis]

It does run all over but it's more like pancake syrup.

Don't try to get into my head Ken. There's barely room for me in there.

I can sleep when I'm dead.

[madmikepags]

I will make a BIG contribution to the fireworks display!!!! call me terry and we will talk!!!! BTW I have some really really BIG composite rocket engines (yes I've done about every hobby there is) can I use those for a RATO (rocket assisted take off) on Ray's chair??? I will start training now for the 9:30 "races" and if Regina is involved in those you are ALL in trouble!!!!

[T.S.Davis]

Reg is coming? I was afraid I had rubbed her wrong. It was probably you though. haha I'll try to ring you on my commute.....s. Ton of miles to do today.

Your supposed to hit the start buoy with Ray. Not land him in the neighbors drive across the lake.

Ditmer from the Elks suggested we make potato guns and launch our own fireworks. I told him that you lunatics would probably over do that and start launching bowling balls out on the big lake across Army road.

In case any of you reading this are confused. It's not a perpetual party. There really is some killer competition that happens during the day. If you've only considered the prospect of going to a race, this is the one to get to. Great people, great competition, and great laughs. Many at my expense. I'm totally cool with that BTW.
