2016 Michigan Cup June 24, 25, 26

[T.S.Davis]

I've received a number of inquiries on this. Sorry guys. Been busy and out of town. I received a request for dates the week after the last Cup from the Elks lodge. I think they wanted to make sure we were in for another year.

There will indeed be a Michigan Cup in 2016. Open water on June 23 and racing for 3 days. 3 rounds per class. Classes haven't been pinned down yet but you can expect the usual fair. The range will be from SV27 to some form of T go fast debauchery.

So it will be at:
The Rochester North Oakland Elks Lodge
3100 Pond Road
Leonard, MI 48367

Let's see...... amenities:

The lodge has real honest to goodness bathrooms. You can actually bring wives and kids without grossing them completely out. I listed this first because the prota crappers......just ew.

There will be food available. Likely for purchase. If the budget allows and attendance is good the club tries to pick up a lunch or two. No guarantees on that. It would be rare for us to not pick up something for us.

After hours there is a huge deck and a complete Elks lodge available for fun and games. Pool table. Darts. Ping pong. Full bar (again, after hours).

There are a handful of camp sites available that have water hookup and electricity. Last year they wanted $10 per night to hook up but I totally failed to inform anyone of that. Sorry guys. I'm sure they'll be looking for the same donation. If you're interested in staying on site let me know as we'll need to plan accordingly. I'm close enough to commute but still enjoy staying on site. I hall in my 30' trailer. Usually end up with a half dozen boat morons in my trailer.

Others can surely point you to the best hotel options as they have tried many of them.

I don't think I'm going out on a limb saying this event is one of the premier FE events of the season. The competition is great but more importantly the camaraderie is absolutely top shelf. Very few have had a bad time at the cup.

We'll up date you here as more becomes available.

Hope to see you all at the races this summer.

I'll make arrangements with Canada Customs to approve you this year.

Last year you pissed me off so I made sure you couldn't get in

Thought that might be the reason.......lol
We should be all set and 100% of everything we need to
cross the border is now complete. Although they certainly loved searching
the boat trailer last year 4 times
Maybe I should have never dropped your name to them....

It might have had something to do with Ken trying to cross the border with a 105 pound trophy in the passenger seat. hahaha

When are the sign ups on rc-racing events going to be up?

[madmikepags]

[Doby]

Well, at least two of the three Pags clan can drive.....

[madmikepags]

OH I am not racing this year just pitting for the girls, maybe u got a chance to win a scale heat or cat heat!!!! Oh but wait Ava's gonna be driving my scale and Nina will be driving my BIG CAT!!! so you wont have a chance so so sorry :-(

[T.S.Davis]

I have to say Mike, I've really enjoyed watching our kids progress.

[madmikepags]

isn't it a blast?????

[T.S.Davis]

Tyler is all in this year. Building him a big boy boat for this summer. We're hitting at least 2 travel races. Then the club. Although the cup is sort of a travel race for us too since we don't go him for 4 or 5 days. The third travel race for us seems to have fallen through. You hitting the nats too? Wonder what Douggie is up to.

[photohoward1]

Mike. S and T Hydro. You are racing.

Its a good thing Pags is "retiring" from racing at the cup....its good he realized his limitations finally

[T.S.Davis]

haha I thought we were going to lose him at the nats. Although it was because I thought Regg might finally off him.

[revoltrunner]

I guess I'll have to drive over and meet some of you guys.

[Doby]

Don't just drive over...bring boats and join the craziness!!!

[Doug Smock]

I guess I'll have to drive over and meet some of you guys.

You need to do that. This is a great group of guys that do this for the right reasons. Yes, enter some boats!!

[revoltrunner]

I can only be there on the 24th. we have plans
the rest of that weekend. if I can shuffle some things
around I'll bring some boats.

[Doby]

Hey, one day of stupid fun beats zero days!

[rayzerdesigns]

Well im gonna try and make this happen this year.. Anyone want to pick me up from airport and or share room and transportation??

[madmikepags]

yes ray I will, I'm probably gonna drive out myself, this year, no kids, they will be in camp. and I'll share lodging. Might just camp at the lake tho??? we will talk.

[madmikepags]

Oh and any idea on the schedule and the classes yet?

[Doby]

Thought you were retiring? Just going to be a pit man....floating off into the sunset???

[madmikepags]

Ahhhhh NO!! kids actually going to camp this year and I will be attending alone, unfortunately, actually a little bummed as this is usually mine and my girls time alone in the summer.

[jaike5]

Well That is a bummer, I enjoyed racing with the girls, and Deb was always pulling for them even though she is my pit chick !! I was also looking forward to racing the girls with the big boats this year, double bummer !! Maybe you could cry foul, and I mean cry, and bring the girls to the Can/Am. August 5,6,7, 2016. You Know team USA could really use there support in the Can/Am challenge for the Can/Am Cup. We do so well because dolby isn't on team Canada ! He never shows up and its in his own back yard, always has some sorry excuse.

Race on

Cheers, Jay.
