King of the Lake, Evansville, In Sept 22 @7pm

[Aaron Johnson]

King of the lake returns Sept 22 under the lights in Evansville, In. with a bit of a twist. The plan is to do open water from 12-6pm then run qualifying races starting at 7pm. We'll set the field then run the final heats on Saturday immediately following district race, again under the lights. (Subject to change to all Friday night) Depending on number of entries will determine the number of qualifying heats. I'd like to get 4 heats for both classes. It will be split into gas and nitro, all boats from all classes welcome. Rules will be strictly enforced. Top 6 make the final heat. It's a win and your in, meaning 4 winners and last two in by points. Points will be scored:

1st place - 5 points

2nd place - 4 points

3rd place - 3 points

4th place - 2 points

5th place - 1 point

Prizes to be gift certificates or cards to the hobby dealers that supply most of our needs along with trophy.

Right now I'm at $200 towards prizes but I do expect that number to climb as we have two more potential race supporters to talk to.

Entry fee is $20 per boat. You can run both classes if you so desire.

Before anybody says smaller boats/smaller motors dont have a chance, flashback reminder, Jeff Schindler won the last King of the Lake with a B hydro against bigger faster boats.

Ray and Sam for nitro!

 

[Aaron Johnson]

Check. Be advised we may have to improvise and combine just as we did before if we dont get enough entries. Hopefully we can keep it seperate

 

[Rich Z]

Is there a cutoff for entry? Say like in the afternoon on the 22nd?

I had a few more gas ppl say they might but nothing for sure yet. I think we'll definitely pick up more Saturday morning. If not, may have to combine everyone, run some qualifiers and take top 6 but we will see what happens Saturday before making that decision.

King of the pond racing under the lights was a blast. Winning it made it even better.
