    Default MMEU Practice

    Well fellas.........this party is finally fix'n t' kick off.

    As of tomorrow, the gates to the Shelby pond will be open for practice on Wednesday and Saturday.

    Some Wednesdays we may get there earlier than 6:00pm but 6 will be the official start time. Usually until dusk......ish.

    Same thing with Saturday. Official time will be 10:00am until we break everything we own or have somewhere else to be. More often than not we clear out about 1:00pm or so. That's when people start heading home to cut their grass etc. so we do to.

    The course is in at 1/6 mile but I'm pretty certain we'll have to reset it before the first race. We'll run on it some and check the feel.

    Just a heads up. Last year we had a Kayak class show up on a Saturday from the City of Shelby Township. I didn't get the impression it would be a regular thing but should the occasion arise again we will absolutely accommodate them. Shelby has been so good to us it's the least we can do.

    In case I forget, the water fowl have the right of way on this pond. Period. If they are anywhere near the course we will wait for them. Stop your boat if you can't trust yourself to go out a round them. If you see someone running that hasn't noticed the birds give them a shout. Not the angry hateful kind. Just a "BIRDS!" should suffice.

    As a courtesy we always retrieve for the new guys. Don't let a new guy shag boats please. Use the life jacket! The water is colder than a well diggers butt right now. You fall in now you're not going to make it to shore. That "life" jacket may actually become just that.

    Club members can expect a similar email in a bit.

    We'll use this thread to update you on practices. Any cancellations will show up here.

    So......first practice is tomorrow at 10:00am. Supposed to snow so bring your snow pants. Stink'n MI crap weather. UGH!

    The Atlanta boys are going to have an easy kill. Can't get any decent laps or testing done. Snowed like mad last Saturday too. Rained this past Wednesday. Supposed to be 30 degrees and snowing tomorrow.

    We'll still be out at 10am. Just can't say for sure how long we'll stay.

    You guys said in an email that the course will be getting some adjustment on Saturday 4/23, the day before our first club race.

    Will the pond be open for practice that day as well?
    Or will it take all day to make the adjustments?
    Have fun with that....

    Hey everyone. The pond will not be available for practice tomorrow. Its the only opportunity we'll have to fix the course.

    Then Saturday should be the usual 10 am open.

    Check back here for any changes.

    Default New Pond!

    New 7 acre pond that's boat friendly! Located in Owosso at Owosso MotorSports Park. My name is Todd and I work here too. I'm trying to get some people to come and check it out. We do not care what it runs on Bring It! This pond was expanded last year and currently does not have power down by lake. Power is on property but away from pond so a generator would be convenient if your running electrics. Cars are welcome too.

    Practice times back to normal. Wednesdays 6pm to ?, Saturdays 10am to ?. If you are planning to come, please get there closer to start time than later. If the pond clears out, we will not keep it open. So if you were planning to come out on a Saturday at 1 and the pond cleared out at 12:30, you might show up and the pond be empty as we all left.

    Next race July 24th. Sign-ups will be on rcracingevents.com by the end of the week.

    Hey guys,
    Original plan was to have no practice tomorrow as a number of us were supposed to be at the SAW's.

    Just did another check on the weather. Looks like we might get a brief mid day reprieve to test some stuff. So I'm bringing my canopy tomorrow and we'll see how it goes. 10am as long as there is no lightening.......from the sky.
