Does district 4 throw out any races in the points or do you they all count?

No Turkey shoot out at Badgers?

 

[DPeterson]

Not sure why the Badger Club Race information didn't get translated correctly.

The May 19-20 race is now what we call our Spring Memorial Race. A two day - 5 heat event utilizing the shootout format.

The July 7-8 race is now called something on the order of the Firecracker Challenge. Again a two day - 5 heat race also utilizing the 5 heat and shootout format.

The Turkey Shoot was squeezed out by the schedule and in place of it we decided to focus back on what it was originally intended for and that was a fun run type event, and not a race. In its place we are looking to do a Badger Model Boat Club Regatta. This is an event with boats of all types. (sport, sail etc.) The date of August 25 is very tentative as well as the event itself and should not have been included in the D4 Race schedule.

Thanks to all the D4 Clubs for adjusting their original race dates so we could accommodate our goal of reaching more space between our venues.

Why all the two day races? Its been a few years since I've raced, I was thinking about getting back in, but the two day format makes it very difficult and expensive.

 

[DPeterson]

I will admit, and in my opinion, the two day race is in favor of the "handful of club guy's" that have to do the work to host the race. The two day race makes it worthwhile for the "handful". Otherwise the one day consist of Set Up, Work the Race and then Take Down. Not much time for the "handful" to enjoy the racing and the friends that attend. As a racer that travels, I look for two day races to make it worth my time.

Brad - plan to come for at least one day. You won't be in the medal hunt, but that's a minor reason to race.
