Just as last year, this was a first rate event. Class acts and great sportsmanship all weekend. The best competition yet. Thanks to everyone who helped put on the race. It was great seeing you all from last year and those for the first time. Ill start the countdown till next year. 364

We had yet another fantasic time at Hobart! I wouldn't know where to start.

Eric and I rolled in about 10:30 AM Thursday morning and they had open water most of the day. Unfortunately Steve Ball tried to move one of the pilings under the gazebo with his .21 'rigger and you can guess what won out. Sadly, it was the only boat that Steve brought but otherwise he found work as a boat chucker. That got to be the phrase of the weekend.

My heat racing didn't go so hot. My first heat I got a 2nd to John Finch, no complaints there as I knew that I didn't have anything for him as my Cat was flighty against his 'rigger so I couldn't open it up in the conditions. My second round I spun it in turn 4 as the wind was really kicking up. Third round somebody left my RX switch on so the battery pack was DOA.

What can you say about the event, it was nothing short of fantastic! The City and people of Hobart are great and you couldn't feel more welcome or a rock star anywhere else. I talked to people from young to old and got the usual questions I don't know how many times but tried to spend time with each person who walked up to talk to us even as busy as I was.

You might hear stories about the nights at The Roof as we did a little parking lot partying there. I had a little Southern apple pie but there wasn't any Old Card Table available.

Stu and the crew, what can you say? Stu went the extra mile I don't know how many times to pull off this race again and make it an event not to miss. Hats off to Me Time for doing the webcast with Jeni and Deryl helping out.

Hobart needs a hobby shop badly as a lot of people were asking me where they could get boats like ours!

I know that I've missed a lot but my butt is dragging now. Unloading the trailer might take a few days.

[Ron Olson]

Oh yeah, Jul got himself a green jacket with one of his OB tunnels and I got to be his boat chucker!

His big hit of the weekend though was his dog Jack riding on both the little ATV then Saturday night in the boat. That dog is a chick magnet!

Hi

I watched most of the Hydro heats on MeLive, a special thanks to them.

It was very interesting to see how you race over there and compare to the international racing scene.

I got the impression that it was action on the lake most of the time.

Thanks
