Charles,

Last two years we had a problem getting in to the race / drvier's mtg on time. Park officials lock the gate from 10 pm until 8 am every night. The racers that stayed in hotels outside the park had to wait on the side of the road up at the hwy 40 gate until someone came and unlocked it at 8 am. The drivers mtg is at 8:30 so this is a problem. Can you coordinate with the park to get a key or have them open it at 0700 on Sat and Sunday mornings? Some of us will arrive at 5 am and can't get in then either. Please see what can be done and advise us all.

Thanks, James Beasley

Thanks to all who came and raced or came to watch. We had some good racing despite the rain. Gas cat put on a really good showing with 17 boats in the class. Thanks to all the Namba 1 guys for coming down and running with us. A special thanks to all of the Baltimore Model Boat club members for all their hard work with setup and tear down duties. Congrats to all who won the coveted green jackets for D12 champions.

I had a great time and enjoyed every minute of it! Thanks to the club members and all racers for making the event enjoyable. No complaining on hardly anyone's account, just guys and gals having fun. A nice end to a really good district year for me, my personal best. After four years, thousands of dollars and hundreds of man-hours I finally got a jacket (pending the grand wizard's final calculations of course) one for B Mono and one for D Tunnel. I lost B Hydro to Eric and Sport 40 to Buddy, both fair and square! Two deserving guys for sure. This is kind of a bitter sweat end to the season for me though. I was a bit more relaxed at this race as I had a new perspective on life coming into this race. I had a biopsy performed two weeks before the race and found out today that I have prostate cancer. Doc says it is treatable thank goodness, but I'll have to go through the surgery and/or radiation treatment process for sure. This stuff puts you back in your place because with cancer you never know how it turns out. Again, great racing this year and I hope to see you all in Charleston next month.
