Hi Bill:

Will there be shore power at the lake for us electric guys to use? We can always charge off our vehicle batteries if there is no AC available. Thanks!

Jay T

 

[bzubee]

We have AC available you'll need extension cords!

Ed Hughey is excited in going.

[jayt]

I'm excited too, after all these years I'll finally get to meet Ed face to face!

Hey Bill Z, is there sufficient coverage to keep us dry or out of the sun? We can bring a pop-up for the two of us if needed - what do you think? Thanks!

I decided not to go based on the weather. Hopefully October or November will be better. 2 months of working on a rigger and mother nature said not so fast.

Well Brain I would say you made the right choice. The wind chill made it like the LOW 50's and the wind gust were 25-35 Mph. The was white caps in there at one ponit.... Driving the retrive boat was a challange!!

At present Jerry Crowther had set two record. Gas Hydro and Oval gas mono.

Those were done on Friday morning Early. After that it was no go.

It was shaping up to be an interesting weekend if the weather help. Jay Turner, name may be wrong, From Texas had one of those Euro electric hydros there.

Hope they have good weather tomorrow.

As predicted, looks like today is pretty good:

The numbers before the "KT" are the wind direction and speed, "CLR" means clear skys, temps in the low 50's, high baro pressure.

[Brian Blazer]

sweet! Looks like I have been challenged!

 

[shoboat]

Anyone have the results?

 

[bzubee]

We will post the results as soon as possible realize that the results are not official until the Records Director glen Quarles actually reviews the applications for records. John and I were working on the forms until 10pm then I left john with the rest to finnish up. It will probably be late this afternoon before results get posted. I know Tommy Lee's B tunnel oval record from 1996 finally fell Ron Drake got that and we got to see an electric hydro go over 70 mph and Jerry's F mono go over 90 mph. Very busy Sunday!!!

Bill Zuber

 

[bzubee]

Well we got the record application sent off we had 30 records applied for this weekend. The most we ever had John stated was 43! It was very busy Sunday!
