This will be a great race. Mark's write-up about the some of the history of boat racing in Dist 5 is great. We had great races at the Pawnee Lake in Birmingham. A large group would come up from New Orleans and a large crowd from Indy. The first "BENT" turn fin I believe showed up at our race. In fact I went up to Bud Baird and told him he had hit something and had a bent turnfin. His reply was that it was okay.The Huntsville site is truly one of the best in the country. A great driver stand, a grassy area to set up on and black top parking lot. Air conditioned and CLEAN toilets. The site is centered in the middle of the country east of the Miss. river. The hotels are reasonable and close to the pond.
We might, with a little luck, get Joe Warren to grill some hot dogs Fri night after open water!!!!!!!!! I hear that efforts are going to be made to get merchandise that would given away by a drawing. This would be a free drawing and the club would not be selling tickets to make money!!!!!!!!! I am sure Mark Bullard would be interested in manufacturers donations for the race.
SOOOOOOOOOO get your entries in early. Dr.T
