All fixed, was my mistake!

Is there a contact name for camping reservations? Mentioning "Model Boat Race" doesn't cut it.

Just called them, the rate is $45/night + HST plus the $12.50 + HST registration fee. They cannot waive the registration fee like last year, sorry.

You can book on line and even pick your spot at: https://hamilton.goingtocamp.com/Home/Home

Still a great deal for a campsite/park of that caliber!

ps: I'd book soon, doesn't look like a lot of spaces left...

The "Can-Am Cup" has had a face lift since last year, could this be the year Team USA will break Team Canada's streak?

Can-Am Challenge Rules:



1. Ten racers will be randomly chosen to make up each team.



2. The highest scoring boat for each racer counts towards the team's point total.



3. Team with the highest total score wins.

Hi T

I have question, when we first started the "Can Am" it was a big D-2 event, how is it that another club in D-2 is running an event the same weekend?

Thanks John
