My thanks to Tracy for taking these photos. There's more, but 590 pictures are TOO many for me to upload.

For those out there that have never been to a Michigan Cup, I hope that these may have inspired you to give a trip to Michigan a strong consideration.

And a Great time was had by all !!!!!

Tom,
Great Pics....

Count my son Fede and me in for 2016 !!

I have 500 plus that I've been sifting through. There's no rhyme or reason to what catches my eye so just deal with it. I rtied to rename the files what I thought they were when I looked at them.

View from the sky. There's a few tents missed still in this shot

Big house on the lake. We only hear from him when he needs to yell at ME!

This gets more traffic after racing I think. Weather sucked so spectators were down.

Peeps driving. Looks like left to right Tom Castellani, Ava Paganelli, Mike Paganelli, Bob Zola, Don The Moose"Hineman, and Chris Harris. There's another behind Bob I can't make out. Chris was our CD for the entire race. Did a killer job too.
Looking intense.jpg

A few of John Einsteins boats..s
Some Doby boats.jpg

This is the view we woke up too each morning. Usually there is a mist to go with it.

Our launch dock. Works pretty well. Although we can't guys to go in on one dock and out on the other.

There were boats too. Honest.

Howard's cat is terrifying.

Smock puts out enough rooster to block out the sun

Speaking of 2016......??????

Some peeps

Dan is new to MMEU but not to Fred an I. We hung out in our high school years. We actually got reacquainted on Facebook.

Fred's son
Landon.jpg

My son. Hangs with me a lot so expect him to be a tool in no time.
My kid.jpg

We've raced all over with Ray. We always saw the same thing. Him trying to see around legs and railing. So we built him a spot just for him.
On his perch.jpg

Pete Z plucking fat boat from the water.
Pete AKA Shooter.jpg

Fred Siewert. The hardest working man at any of our races.

We rarely get to race each other. Tom loaned me his P sport and Ty ran mine. I beat him this heat.
Beating my punk kid.jpg

Here you can see me leading but Ty has the lane only a tic behind
Punk kid beating me.jpg

But not this time! That's me on the inside.
Not this time.jpg

Here it appears I'm thieving something from Toms pit. Entirely possible. I did find 2 speedo and a 1527 that belonged to him in my boxes at the end of the season.
Stealing from Tom.jpg

Tom and PAGS on the drivers stand.

Smock gave my son Tyler crap all weekend. As it should be
Give em crap Doug.jpg

Ken Haines winning yet another award. Truth told I'm not sure which one in this pic. He did really well this year.
Haines and FAS.jpg

Doug and Ken launching boats for the kids class. Fede and Landon both raced pretty well for as little experience as they have. We had a number of racers under 15. They were all class acts and I personally found it really encouraging that there is a next generation of racers. These kids are the future.
Smock n Haines.jpg

Fred and Marc C. Also known as "The Hobbiemaster". Zola once told me he'd had his first name changed to "The". If you spend much time around RC and Marc you'll pick up that the moniker fits him perfectly.
The Hobbiemaster.jpg

Uncle Ben looking like a deer in traffic. New to MMEU this season. Should give him the most improved driver award. Started rough for him in 2015.

"Are you sure? How can that be?"
"Yeah, look right here. Says you won"

The Cup. I trust this will be delivered back to Mi in 2016.
Recieving the Cup.jpg

Losing the cup did not set well with at least one of our younger drivers. I may have to build some more boats.

[T.S.Davis]

Sorry everybody. Looks like Tom and I were drawn to some of the same pics. I just labelled em different.
