56th Annual Mini Gold Cup June 2,2024

[ChrisCapaldi]

The weather is looking fantastic for Sunday's race. The club is setting up the course on Saturday and will be done by 11am or so. We will have a couple of hours of open water and then break for the day so we can get home to get the rest of our boats ready. Here are the current boat counts with a few more that I know will be coming at the last minute:

10 - 1/8 Scale
10 - Sport 40
6 - Sport 20
7 - Open Hydro
3 - Gas Scale
3 - Open Mono
6 - Thunderboat

The 56th Annual Mini Gold Cup should be a great race.

Put Rob Betke down for Scale please.

Looks like open mono might be a bust with the 6 boat thing high lighted in red or are the rules changing again

 

[ChrisCapaldi]

We will run the class even if we don't make it to 6 boats. The purpose of setting up the 2 additional classes was so we could include more boaters who wanted to run at the race. It's not perfect but we will run all the classes at the Hydrofest Aug 4th race.
