Come on out and see us!

As one of the "old timers" told me years ago, record trials aren't great spectator events but if the conditions are good you should see some fast stuff.

The Oakland/Wolverine MBC has a heat race in Burton May 22nd, you might want to check that out too.

Does anyone know what the record is for a 7.5 outboard outrigger?Thanks

Pretty stout even today but doable.

Boats are unpacked and assembled. Just hoping this weather passes through. Would it be helpful to bring a generator for anyone else?

I've got my X hydro and a N2 mono to run. Should be close in both classes if the weather cooperates.

Came through some crappy weather on my way to Flint, got the retrieve boat and am meeting F.A.S.T. members Mike Nowicki and Mikey Ross in the morning to set up the site.

The big bad low and cold front that sparked all the devistation down south is departing the Great Lakes, looks not bad for Saturday but Sunday might not be great with another weak system coming through.

Hey Tyler, what's an X hydro?

X hyrdo in NAMBA is F in IMPBA Smart A$%.

N2 is 2 cell class

The N2 mono sunk yesterday. Not enough flotation unfortunately. Dragged, waded and combed the lake for several hours with no luck. It looks like it is going to be another blown out weekend.

Oh man, sorry to hear about your N mono loss Tyler.
