Lake Location:
Witching Hour Rules
Every evening 1 hour before sunset only drivers whose boats have been within 5 percent of the record during
the event or if you currently hold that record will be allowed to run on the short list. Those on the short list will
have the water until dark. If no one on the short list elects to run at any time after Witching Hour open running
will become effective using the daily list until such time that someone on the short list elects to run. At that time
only people on the short list are eligible to run until such time that those participants are not running again.
This can happen as often as the short list participants pass their turn. No one on the short list can give up their
spot for someone not on the short list.

Based on records for the Oct time frame the weather should be cool and perfect for running boats!

Super day at the lake Friday, had some rain in the early AM, cleared out and the boats took advantage of the newly surfaced water. I think 6 new records were set, and some have more on tap to bump those records a bit more. I think all new records were in the 1/4 mile oval but they went from B tunnel to gas to FE... we have big variety of boats here. Weather is looking good for the next two days!

Ron,

Sorry I missed the call last night, I will call you back today.

I heard the resurface of the lake water really helped the speeds yesterday.

Hopefully it will be even faster today with a little more time to settle in.

Nice Job Ron,

Mark Sholund
