Doug,

Outboard Tunnel looks like I can run a 1515/1Y. I doubt that's true. Actually, looks like I can run 6S and a 1527. Yes, I am bustin your chops! If this is P-Spec, say so. Can you please clarify.

All the best,

Ray

This race was a little different, not seeing Herb Stewert already there Friday Morning was a little hard to swallow.
Herb was a gerat supporter of District 13 and our Grand Prix Series.
But we had a great weather, great racing and a lot of fun.
The District 13 Champions were crowned for 2009 and how great was it that Herb's last championship is being our 2009 FE OUTBOARD TUNNEL CHAMPION.

Jeff Garner, Herb's son raced with Herbs Boats and had a great tribute set up in his memory.
Jeff was also presented with the ten world record certificates that Herb had won.

Thanks, Herb District 13 will miss you.

Thanks also goes to all that helped make this race such a succsess.
Thanks Norma English for score keeping and Rick English for his hard work getting everything ready.
Thanks to Wendy Morton for helping out on the CD Stand.
Thanks Louis Bentley Always there to help.

Well the year is over and we will do it again starting in February at our pond in Sycamore, Ga.
If you haven't raced in a Grand Prix Race, TRY IT, YOU'LL LOVE IT.
Thanks,
See ya at the pond.
