Come run on the biggest record water in North America!

Rumour has it that Alan, Howie and Steve might make it, maybe even Jay...Hmmmm.

With the new lipo rules I know you guys are running over record speeds with just your heat-race setups, I've seen it!

[T.S.Davis]

I'll try to make it by with or without boats to run. It's only about 55 minutes from my house.

See you're at the north end of Lake St. Clair there, close for sure, will be nice meeting you.

Thanks any of these other fast guys will make it?

Nothing like being able to say "officially" how fast your toy boat is!:thumup:

No idea. I'll bug em though. I might bring some stuff just to get some numbers on. Nothing that will set the water on fire.

[Jay Boyd]

Flint is an awesome site & run very well!

Any News Yet?

[Terry Keeley]

Well I guess all you fast electric guys were scared to come out and show us up, didn't see one of you!

Looking at early in May and late in Sept for '08, maybe some of you will get up enough nerve to come on out! :rolls:

Here's some pix anyway:

Showing you fuelers up is not a problem. Where the heck is that place, anyway?

Come on south next spring. There are a few fellas with little battery boats who hang out near Valdosta. I am sure you boys will get introduced to 'fast', down in Georgia. :yeah:

Thanks for posting.

[Jay Boyd]

You'll have way more room in Flint!

[Don Wollard]

Jay. How is the water there?

[Jay Boyd]

I didn't go but it looked good on Saturday from the pics. A bit of a breeze Sunday. It's too close to the Cafe race I guess?

Jay you are right! CAFE is this Thursday through Sunday...which as you know is the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend.

Mmmmm...go racing and miss our Thanksgiving...go to time trials week before a three day race weekend...or...go to both?

I spent this past weekend with my family celebrating our Thanksgiving early allowing me to race over our holiday weekend.

Life's all about making tough decisions:)
