Well the MN district championship race has been canceled do to the TCMBC pond flooding. But we will be having a race at a special place on Sunday. I say we rename it the MN IA showdown.

This all started last year. When the Iowa'ns came up for the MN championships. While the weather was not perfect for racing. Great racers and friends made the best of it. Battling the cold and rain, the Iowa crew came with there game hat on and took some hardware home with them.

The Iowa clan minus Marty are sneaking across the boarder in the morning to challenge the racers of MN once again. I think this might just turn into a yearly border battle race. What do you say boy's!

Tell you what Chris. You send me up one of your old beat up personal hulls and I will put one on the water next year for when you come up. Or make your self a .12 Blackbird and race with the largest fleet of A hydro's in the county.

We're sneakin across....( there's holes in the border fencing we know about.... and it is.... to keep them in... ) it should be fun... 1st time hydro racer throwin one out..... maybe we'll put him in with the 12's

Naw. I know what antenna shake is..... "Ya gotta get right in there"......

Dont know where that fast thing came from.... its been a year.... hopefully i'm a little faster...... if not, all them test days for naught......

It's snot too late! I can throw something faster in the truck, perhaps...... aint gonna be right without LC, and Marty.

At best, we can keep Slater racing hulls on top again.

Bringin it. aaaaaand..... hey,whats up with football in your state, anyway?....... good racing, where its at. Mike

Mark... please inform your wife to run like hell, we left Larry's place in disrepair last year.... well, maybe a little.....

Those aren't holes in the fence, they're entrances to the trap! Don't forget your marshmallows.

It was the most fun I had at a race all year! The B sport hydro class was rush, even for the spectators. Fun was had by all that was at today's race's.

Thank you to the Iowa crew for making the trip up to race with us. It was a great way to end the season. We hope that you guy's get a club going down near your home. There is already an interest from a bunch of us Minnesota racer's that would love to come down to Iowa and clam some hardware.

PS. It was the front bearing that went out on my NR OB. Not one of them dam Chines cranks. In side joke. Only the Iowa crew knows what I am talking about.

How the hell did we let him leave town with that secret head shim. JK Rodney

Hey Tim, He beat you with a "Chines engine" I know I know, your engine and setup guy is not doing his part again.

HAHAHA. Tims boat runs good. I had the "GO GO GADGET" boat powered with rocket fuel today. And that head shim, has been destroyed, no top secret's being let out. LOL, i thought about packing it up and mailing it back. :lol: :lol: :lol:

And I heard it was the bearing, thats good man! Must mean they are upping the quality standard in "chine"
